If you're saying that our health care system drastically needs reform, you'll find me at the head of that line. I work in the health care system and I've been saying that for years. It did NOT need a government takeover.
Since there is no government provided health care, what the fuck are you talking about? Even if you were to somehow say that the mandate was a takeover that does not make sense as car insurance has a mandate yet it is still private. There are certain areas where the government has to regulate private business and that is nto a takeover, it is because if they do not business runs amok and hurts people.
Part of the problem with making outlandish statements like that is they are inflammatory, not true, and really confuse the issue. Most people would agree the health insurance system in the US was and is fucked and a half, but when you try and claim obama took it over with this act you distort what was actually done. Nothing was taken over, and the insurance companies are still privately owned. The worst that happened is that there are some piss poor regulations that were not there before requiring insurance companies to actually pay out as per their contracts, and to stop dropping people for collecting on money they paid to collect on. As long as insurance companies are for profit this will be the case. The shareholders will always come before the customers in a business where people are scared shitless to not have your product.
So please tell us just how the AMA has taken over private health insurance, or shut up and stop confusing things.
