If you want to call Medicaid or Medicare something else, fine with me. But most of Obama Care is health insurance sold by health insurance companies. The fact that it will be near universal doesn't change it's definition any more than near universal car insurance makes it something else. We've seen this before -- in '92, the Clinton campaign coined the term "investment" as a synonym for "government spending" -- two entirely different things. Outside entitlements, the majority of government spending is for investments or maintenance; "discretionary spending". Roads, airports, military, Commerce Dept trade missions, all sorts of shit. Stuff that keeps the country moving. The countries that fall behind are those that don't invest or maintain. Look around.
