How is government going to be ‘in charge’ of health care? I’m pretty damn sure that Medicaid is not going to be covering aromatherapy in the near future, they won’t even cover acupuncture.

Hi SFZ. I assume what concerns some folks is the concept of the legislation allowing government to mandate that insurance companies provide certain coverage (such as pre-existing, lifetime limits, preventive care, etc.). I think the point was that once government begins to mandate, it is susceptible to lobbying, political pressure, and so forth. (Just my take on some of the comments.)
