Why is the comparison with socialized medicine even part of this discussion? It’s benefits and drawbacks notwithstanding, nobody has proposed socialized medicine.[/quote]

The whole goal of the insurance reform of the type that is being proposed (public option) is to get us to a single payer system (socialized care). It’s right out there in the open for anyone willing to pay attention.
