Are you being intentionally obtuse?

"I do not want to turn my life over to the congenital idiots"

Constantly referring to those who disagree with you as idiots is childish. It doesn't help your case.

Again - I'm repeating myself here - you don't have to. Want private - keep private. Many do here in the UK.

No one is going to take over your healthcare if you don't want it. How many times do you have to be told that before you actually take it on board.

In this country I pay taxes. Those taxes pay the armed forces to look after my country, the council to look after my town, the police to look after my street, the fire brigade to look after my house, schools to look after the brains of our children, and the NHS, to look after my body.

Insurance firms care about one thing. Profit.
If your healthcare system is based on that - then it is utterly, utterly broken.

Fortunately, enough of your fellow Americans realise that and voted for the other guy.
You lost Tom. I know it hurts - but your nation voted, and told you to go to hell.
