1)Having the government participate in anything to do with my healthcare whether it be administration or treatment democratic controlled or republican.
There is nothing in the bill that involves the government in your healthcare, Dell. "The government" is not going to adminster your healthcare, nor determine any treatments. You, your doctor and your private insurance company do that now, and will continue to do that.

Financing the so-called vouchers, you seem to think will be made out of thin air. This is socialized medicine no matter how it's cooked and I hate the thought of even trying the dish.
You really need to familiarize yourself, just a little, with what was in this bill when it passed.

No, I know how it is funded. You clearly do not. It is financed within the parameters of the bill. The bill had to be deficit neutral, and it was when passed into law. Monies were taken that are already in use. You have no additional tax or financial obligation whatsoever.

If you want to talk about socialized medicine, you have to talk about Medicare and Medicaid, and the decades we've had of it.

There isn't anything "socialized" about some really rather minor insurance company reforms.
