Its about time someone went after those crooks
The "someone" going after those crooks, are even bigger crooks. The Ins Companies can be a nightmare with our health insurance, but they do not take control of everything else, like this government is doing. You need to look at the big picture, here.

They just want control, it's not like Obama is doing this because he cares, because there are better ways of doing this, he just wants control.

Obama's plan will change within 4 years because it needs to, its a start at least. If not Americans need to liquidate the fed and form another union. Sounds crazy but having been around for 53 years things don't look good at all.
Here's a tip... Insurance across state lines! That would have brought prices way, way down. Do you know why this wasn't included in Obamacare? Do you? Because it would actually work without the power hungry Feds having control. They don't want any part of something they don't have complete control over.

So you admit that the government run universal health care system doesn't work in India yet you want it here in the US. What gives?

What you and many others say does make since but not to the 50 states in our union. You do know it is the states that regulate insurance and the insurance industry has learned to game this system and the 50 regulatory agencies. Health insurance companies enjoy anti-trust exemption because of this. So, it isn't as simple after all.
