Reply #5: Making rules for how private for-profit or non-profit companies provide

health insurance IS NOT GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

I expect the RW to lie, smear, exaggerate, mis-represent, and deceive. It's inexcusable that dem leaders, pundits, and the supposedly independent media let this meme persist without pointing out what is true and accurate. They let 'death panels' and claims of socialism, rationing, fraud and abuse and inefficency, and government takeover be the dominant meme.

The health care program is less a government take over of health care than requiring seatbelts in cars is a government takeover of the automobile industry.
