<i>It is also perfectly reasonable to believe that the problem is that we already have too much government control, so turning it all over to the government is hardly the solution.</i><p>&#62; I am not aware of any health care reform legislation in the United States from any party that advocates turning it all over to the government.<p>"all over" is an exaggeration, but do you really want to argue that Obamacare wasn't imposing significantly more govt control than we currently have?<p>If you concede that point, then you're just arguing about the magnitude of what's left in private hands.<p>Note that using private firms for health services does not imply that those services are not under govt control.  For example, the postal service uses contractors to transport mail, but that doesn't imply that the postal service isn't govt controlled.
