Why are people so keen on gov't run healthcare again?

Your conception of privacy is rather laughable in the internet age where your identity is pretty much a google search away, spare me the paranoia when the data mining companies and insurances got us all by the balls already!

While I can sort of understand the argument from the efficiency stand point, although I don't agree with it, since I think the profit motive go against the promotion of general wellness which is the point of such endeavor (health insurance), but their argument is generally understandable.

This sort of appeal to emotion with nebulous innuendos is exactly the sort of bullshit that is muddy up debate. Nativist and their hang up on the Big Bad Government (TM), when the "private enterprises" can be just as bad, worse, there really isn't any checks on those entities from collecting all sorts of information on us.

But then, I can't blame the crazies for losing faith in the political processes that is design to hold the government accountable when we did not just vote out of power the party and president that promoted domestic spying and torture, right? oh wait.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Over 70% of what the government considers rich DO pay the taxes.

I think those are actually two very different statements. O.o;; Although I guess the definition of rich or wealthy is probably a moving target here.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
