corporations are already "in charge of our bodies" in the context of the existing health care system.
corporations are also not accountable directly to anyone except shareholders and sometimes organized pressure groups, which typically either use pr to force change out of a desire to protect a brand, or they use the state to change the legal rules of the game.
i've never really understood the source of american conservative paranoia about the state, which if anything makes the spaces it acts upon *more* open to democratic processes by making it accountable through elections. in principle anyway.
corporate power is not accountable to anyone. the present configuration of the american health care system is a result of this unaccountable corporate power, in the context of which profit-seeking gets tangled up with providing health care.
one result of this entanglement is the entire problem of the uninsured that's one of the drivers of the debate.
another is the explosion of hospital bureaucracies, which are a fundamental problem for accessing health care.
another is the way "managed care" operates, which already does much of what conservative disinformation has persuaded them that they should worry about.
this is a surreal situation, the "debate" about health care, the "august revolt" of the incoherent right.
o yeah--it's always interesting to follow the money when the conservative apparatus gets going.
have a look at the organizations listed in this article: it's the usual suspects.
