Government didn't seize insurance companies. There wasn't even a public option offered. They simply mandated that people must have insurance or pay the fines. It's implied in the bill that the cost of insurance will reduce significantly now that people won't be dropped as easily and people can buy their own health insurance at their terms. It would be in your (general your) benefit to buy into a health insurance policy. Someone's gotta sell the policy, so jobs will be created.
At least that's what I got from the bill. I started studying it at like 9:30 pm last night.
This will never happen. People aren't smart enough and the other two parties squash anyone who tries to get in on their game. Maybe if civil war does happen...
And when I say civil war I don't mean bang bang, shoot shoot. More like a legal fiasco and cessation of certain states that are dominated by one party, followed by a mass exodus of people who are on the other side of the argument to another state and so on and so forth. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have a European Union type thing going on where each state can do what they please. I don't know.
