Call it what is is. Democrats are pushing for the government to reform the way the Health Care industry is regulated. Pre-existing conditions, for example.
Regulating is not a takeover of the entire system.
Does the FDA own every meat packing company and chicken ranch?
Does the FAA own every airplane?
Is the Health Care Bill looking to buy all the hospitals and employ all the doctors?
Frame the debate and the arguments properly. It truly sucks having to defend the utter bullshit the Republicans are throwing up to see what sticks. Sucks even more that their constituents don't expect more out of their politicians.
And by offering an option to what is out there, competition and the market forces will decide what will be popular. Just like State Universities do not put private Universities out of business, the added Government option is all part of the choices Americans are used to.
The scare tactics of the Right are slowly losing their steam. Today's Summit proves that. Obama and Democrats are civil about their majority. America is opening its eyes and getting a look at real leadership.
