Growth of Medicare & Medicaid create nanny-state dependency

The growth of government in any facet of our lives means less personal freedom, and health care is certainly no exception. Medicaid and Medicare have growth far beyond their originally projected limits, both in terms of enrollment and overall costs. Such programs cause Americans to become increasingly dependent on the government, creating a "nanny state" environment that leads to more national debt and less economic stability.

Full implementation of ObamaCare ends self-governance

In his first term, Bright hopes to help bring an end to "Obama's radical agenda, and item number one is stopping ObamaCare." Bright's reasoning is that "full implementation of ObamaCare means the end of our experiment in self-governance as we know it."
