This is part of the problem, people are poorly informed on the issues, and you wonder why we get shitty results.
Obama is not going anywhere close to a single payer system with his health care reform bill. The government is not going to be making decisions about your medication etc.
What we will end up with is at most is probably a system where everyone is required to have some kind of private insurance, along with tax credits and/or gov assistance for people who can't afford it.
You guys should actually welcome this because if things stay as is health care costs are going to bankrupt our gov. Current health care system is massively more expensive than a "universal," government-run one would be. Getting everyone or nearly everyone insured as Obama wants to do is a cost-saving/ deficit reducing measure in the long run.
