The Ideology Used By Republican Governors Against Obamacare

Someone once said that "the poor are perfectly free to sleep under bridges".  That was said in response to those who use the concept of freedom to protect the interests of the privileged.  Republican governors are abusing the concept of freedom to defend their lack of support for Obamacare.  They argue that the poor are perfectly free to live without health insurance.  According to their ideology, Obamacare takes aware their freedom.  Paul Krugman makes a similar argument in this article.   The concept of freedom has been so thoroughly abused by conservatives that I refuse to listen to anyone who uses the word.  That is a pity because it used to mean something worthwhile.
