re: #435 BryanS
Socialized medicine does not mean you have to directly employ the workers. In the soviet union—not intending to compare the health care plan to anything under that system—employees were hired by company managers who took orders from the central government. The House plan would entail the government setting prices and dictating the particulars of the products sold. So not fully socialist—we’ll call it socialist-light then.
We already have socialist light with Medicare and Medicaid don’t we?
