What the hellthcare?

How about using history as your ruler here? The government runs healthcare right now. It's called Medicare, it was supposed to provide major medical coverage (80%) for the retired and disabled. Medicade was promised to cover those that could not pay for insurance. The VA is supposed to care for the veterans. If these programs did what the government promised, the "healthcare crisis" conversation would not be happening. The problem is that none of these programs live up to their promise. So now rather than have the conversation about fixing the existing programs, the government has "TAKEN" control of all healthcare. I think this sums it up simply. It's like the guy that screwed you over when he promised to fix your car, getting a court order that you have to take all your cars to him from now on.
