    Health care is big business. Moves(washes) lots of money. Government and big business always help each other. The insurance companies are the democrats' "Halliburton".

    All seriousness aside, the truth is that health care is as much part of our infrastructure as the the lights and roads are. Perfectly within the government's interests to see that everybody has access. Handing it over to private interests has proven disastrous for everybody not involved the business. Most of all the patients. But, like everything else...
