As an aside, I find it incredibly funny that the rightwing is calling the current legislation "government takeover of our health care system" while the actual legislation kills the public option and turns over management and profits of the system to private market insurers. The only role government has in this "takeover" is to legally expound citizens to buy insurance plans from private insurers. This serves neither government or citizens, but does great things for insurance company executives and stockholders.
What was "taken over" was the government by a kleptocratic concentration of private wealth.
Of course in the prism of no-nothing rightwing douchebags this equals "government takeover" and not what it is, corruption wrought by crony capitalism.
