I'd like to reiterate that its a mistake to expect that our legislators will produce wise, smart or efffective legislation in the healthcare area. You're getting no argument from me on that score. If you thought you were, then read more carefully. The argument you're getting from me is that you're exaggerating and over-dramatizing aspects of this legislation. There's plenty in it that warrants criticism. You don't need to make up strawmen to beat down. The actual proposals are bad enough.

its a mistake to expect that our legislators will produce wise, smart or efffective legislation in the healthcare area. Particularly now that we have Congressional leaders openly mocking the idea of even reading the legislation they vote for. Healthcare takeover is a terrible idea. It is obvious why socialists want to take over the health care industry. It is roughly 1/6 of the economy. It is as important to our economy as coal was when British socialists took over coal mining. Just like every other socialist program it will leave consumers begging them to put things back like they were before the takeover.
