These are two things that the founding fathers fought tooth and nail against... every word of the documents written to establish this country are against these two notions...

You're actually interpreting and/or misinterpreting other people's agenda's the way religious groups do the bible. Even ancient dictators and leaders of third world countries try and at least make a feeble impression of aiding the poor and giving those without some entitlement. It's those in the middle that get screwed and they are playing on the fears of people who currently have healthcare and think they are going to keep it at the current rates. This is never going to happen no matter the outcome of the healthcare bill and the only way a cooperation makes profits, which is it's only reason to exist, is by either creating newer or better product they can charge more for or cutting back on expense, so do the math and see what you get out of it.
Also, don't forget that Teddy Roosevelt was up against the Robber Barons in his day and they were trying to play him off as a communist and socialist too and this was a bonafide Republican much like Obama is doing today as a democrat. I'm not sold on Obama but considering what alternatives were being offered it was pretty much a no brainer and I don't think his ideas are any more socialist when Teddy Roosevelt took on the Robber Barons and kicked ass cause he didn't give a shit and knew what was best for the country. It seems more dramatic now cause we didn't have to live through all the everyday tedium of back then plus their was no television media trying to play it out and getting bored for lack of drama.
