No but what are the odds they would actually run the healthcare if it went thru? They would outsource it to private ins companies to administer it. Just like they have been working on doing with Medicare/Medicaid. The govt would just collect the taxes and pay it to your ins company of choice. At least that is the idea I have gotten from all I have read. If I am missing something, please clue me in.

Not that I support the current legislation.

Well, gee, I do. They are running my Health Care right now. LOL.Medicare and Tricare for Life. Excellent. I couldn't afford health care until I retired and became 65.
Do you think they can't run it? Is it detrimental to you and yours? Would you have them take away my health care? Hmmm?

Hey---how can you say that Social Security is broke? (It would be "BROKEN", that is correct grammar) I'm still collecting it.
The Post Office is broken? Huh? I'm still getting my mail.
Medicare is broke....uh, broken? No. I disagree.
This is a goofy post,Carpy.
