Healthcare is business. It's that pursuit of profit that drives the technology and research the population benefits from. Take away those profits and the healthcare industry will suffer badly.

Oh yeah, the government will probably just screw it all up. The current healthcare system is all working just fine the way it is. Let's simply leave it for the not-for-profit insurance companies to sort it out for us.
They've only spent over $400,000,000 in lobbying and advertising to stop this bill (so far). I guess it must be a bad idea if the insurance companies are this upset about it.
