Santorum: Obama's healthcare law a scheme to get Democrats reelected - The Hill's Ballot Box: Rick Santorum called President Obama's healthcare law a scheme to "hook" voters, who would reelect Democrats because they will have become dependent on the government for handouts.
“ObamaCare is a game-changer that makes every single citizen dependent on the U.S. government for their life,” Santorum said at a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire on Thursday. “That’s how they see you … as people to hook, as people to become dependent on them. There’s a push to get more and more people dependent. Why? Because [they say], 'Once we get you hooked, we’ll never let you go, and by the way, they’ll reelect us.' "
Fresh off his surprising last-minute surge into the top tier of candidates following the Iowa caucuses, Santorum made clear that he views the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as an affront to personal liberty.
“It’s over, folks, let’s be very honest,” he said. “What your ancestors fought and died for, the ability to be free and independent and not hooked, not dependent on the federal government, will be given away.”
