We haven't had a truly free market in the country for almost 100 years. Trouble is corporatism, not capitalism. By the way it is big Pharma that is pushing for the bill to go through. The poor will be fined for not having insurance? And when the hell are public officials held accountable anymore? If public officials were held accountable and listened to their constituents we would have pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan by now and all of these wall street goons would be in the federal pen. ANd last, but not least, do you really want the US Federal Govt to be in charge of health care? I mean look at the sad ass state of education or the fine mess we are in in the Middle East.
