This is where the disconnect is between reality and rhetoric IMO.
People are the government. The government is the people. When the government has control of something, in a democracy, that can only mean that the people have control of it.
Somehow the republicans have managed to convince everyone that for profit corporations operating in the interest of profit are good and a government entity operating in the interest of it's constituents is somehow evil or fascist.
I have influence over my congressman (in a manner of speaking), I have zero say over what Aetna does.
