Have you read the bill Gondring?The fact is this is NOT a take-over. It is regulation to stop such free-market practices as denying health insurance to victims of domestic abuse, women who take anti-HIV meds following a rape, and cops. The greedy health care corporations are unethical and unscrupulous in attaining their precious profit at the expense of peoples health. Shouldn't a nations health care systems focus on...ya know.. health?The fact remains a few regulations and a very weak, watered down public option do not amount to any type of 'take over'. Now a fully socialized system, you just might have a point, although even that works far better than the failed system we use now. Just look at every other Western nation for ample examples of this. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaround ...
