The U.S. is long past due for some more socialism to infuse into its politics and society.

Thank you, for the bill, read some of it, The Government WILL control health care, they will control Doctors, and they will control you. The only people they won’t control is the insurance people, they will make money together.
The government controls the military and police too. I think it would sooner control the people through the military and police, not through health care. Is this a reference to mind-controlling microchips implanted unbeknown to the public at large? Otherwise, I don't know how granting more access to health care can control people.... enlighten me, please?

You people have no idea what you are talking about, try government run health care for a while; it really is a lemon in the end. A car you drive only because you have to.
I've been trying it in its current form for around 30 years. It's been doing great. I've had a few hospital procedures done by very competent doctors at great facilities, and they were generally staffed well too. And my experiences with GPs has been quite decent as well. Actually, a majority of Canadians are satisfied with our system.

Socialized Medicine.
Is this meant to be a epithet? Propaganda? Fearmongering? Because I can see it as something good as well. I was just wondering where you were going with this.

Okay, I see now:

I can see some of you are embroiled in a lovely debate in step1, step2. I’m so tired of this b-s of moms and kids, I hurt, boo hoo for me, no insurance, no help, blah, blah, blah. Get a Job. Get your own damn insurance; get out of my doctors’ office and out of my pocket.
....propaganda.
