If Obamacare fails, can the President just sign an executive order thus kicking all corporate entities out of healthcare and essentially taking their business over? Take all the billions upon billions in profits they glean from our health and use that to keep costs down and do more research into real ways to help people?

IMO, companies like Phizer should be booted from the industry. They and their shareholders. There are plenty of other ways to make money in America, our health should not be one of them.
no.. what will happen is slowly they will erode as the federal government picks up more patients, and the large ones, will partner with the government like they already do..

The President could not, but congress could. They nationalized airline security when they created the Department of Homeland Security in 2002. There is precedent.

That is what happens when a few people decide to ram planes into buildings, clearly private security measures didn't work to well.

No. The ACA is doing with the health insurance industry what the government did long ago for the banking industry.
