"Obama knows that the American people are leery of nationalized health care, I think his plan is a way to ease us into it. I predict in his second term he will propose we go to a completely government run program."

This is a pretty tame proposal. I think the author is too hard on it. That data collection he claims is costly is data they already have and can pretty cheaply make it available to the public. I question providing taxpayer-paid health coverage to illegal aliens. But I don't much mind the cost of the employee record capture because of what we discussed the other day about the difficulty of finding a player to step up.

As far as the second term prediction, this proposal isn't all that much different from what we have now, way to far from single-payer to make an easy transition. Further, it would take a full two terms to put this in place so the next step would be in some other administration.
