Is health care about "controlling the people"? Is that bad?

Obamacare according to John Dingell

I've not been a big fan of the health care reform package that has just been signed by the President. First, anytime $1 trillion worth of legislation is passed completely upon partisan lines, the political machines are in need of check, at least in my humble opinion. Second, even the President has stated that nothing will save the US health care system until America's diet and end of life health care spending is far better controlled.

Well, it seems that healthcare reform is the first step towards controlling the diet and lifestyle of Americans, at least according to Michigan Democrat, John Dingell.

Is that bad? Should healthcare be implemented in a way that forces Americans to except a more healthy diet and lifestyle - a diet that both lengthens life and saves the US economy? Or, despite the good intentions, is individual freedom more important than the state?

Regardless, if this is the ultimate direction of healthcare, the fact that there is no bipartisan support suggests to me that it is STILL time to vote against the incumbents, regardless of party.
