The government isn't "taking over health care". That not nationalizing it lock stock and barrel but their putting it more and more under government control. Ignoring that fact, obscures the truth and makes good policy harder to achieve.

You don't think it's relevant that people are against it because it doesn't go far enough? Of course it doesn't go far enough to control costs. I don't think you'd get any argument on that. If a survey asked me that question, that's the way I'd answer. That was one of the main objectives and it was not met. It was worsened. And it doesn't "insure" all the people it promised. So I can easily agree that it doesn't go far enough. It makes a mess and doesn't do what was promised. It's half assed. Now, some might prefer it to be full assed rather than no assed or differently assed. I'm not one of them. My point is that saying that "it doesn't go far enough" doesn't necessarily mean what you infer.
