Neither Obama nor Clinton, who actually has a stronger health care plan, argue for national health care, only for a universal, single payer insurance system.

Has Obama's plan changed. That's now what the NYT described back in Iowa. A single payer insurance system would, indeed, socialize the health insurance industry.

"The Obama proposal includes a new requirement that employers either provide coverage to their employees or pay the government a set proportion of their payroll to provide it."

Well when they back away from a socialist health plan, they resort to a federally funded and controlled health plan provided by insurance companies. That would not be socialist, but fascist.
