Universal healthcare will allow them a say in:
1. What you eat.
2. How much you weigh.
3. Whether you own a gun.
4. What kind of car you drive.
5. An automatic excuse to raise your taxes.
6. The Sex Education of your children.
All of the above can be reframed as health care issues. Probably a few more that I haven’t thought of.
Some of this is already occurring. UNIVERSAL means what it means and IF the Catholic church is demanding UNIVERSAL health care then they will have to provide birth control among a few other requirements. Teddy Kennedy spent his political career pushing UNIVERSAL health care and the Church buried him in good standing.

A bit off topic, but as a nurse in training, we are not being educated to “screen” patients for owning firearms and keeping them in the home — the idea being to “prevent’ you from harming yourself, if you become depressed.
I say — if they ask you in a physical history exam if you own a gun ...don’t even say yes. It’s personal info they have no right to know. Screw ‘em.
