Probably, then, a fascist approach where the individual companies exist, but everything they do is regulated by or dictated by the government. That would preserve a lot of the money flows to the “important people”.
Bingo!!! We have a winner!

I can't help wondering Throughout world history, people seeking dominion over other people have always claimed that their desire for ultimate power served some greater common good.

Yeah.
And it has a precise name.

Fascism

I have been stressing this reality since Hillary's crash-and-burn attempt to promote "Universal Health Care" in the early '90s.

It is impossible to grasp the true concept of Fascism without returning to an age of clarity and facts vs opinion and editorializing; before personal definitions, euphemisms, the puerile, self-serving age of "depends of what the definition of is, is.

According to the Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Collier-Macmillan, Volumes 3-4, 1967, pp182-183 et seq.:

"...whereas Liberalism, socialism, democracy, and the other progressive movements of the nineteenth century had asserted the rights of man, the selfish claims of the individual, Fascism sought, instead, to uphold the moral integrity and higher collective purpose of the nation. And whereas liberalism saw the state simply as an institution created to protect men's rights, fascism looked on the state as an organic entity which embodied in itself all the noblest spiritual reality of the people as a whole. Fascism opposed the laissez-faire economics of the capitalism and the bourgeois ethos which went with it. But fascism equally opposed socialism, which preached class war and trade unionism and thus served only to divide the nation. Fascism could tolerate no organized sectional groups which stood outside the state, for such groups pressed the supposed interests of some against the true interests of all...

"...fascism set up corporations which were designed to integrate the interests of particular trades, industries, professions and the like into the wider harmony of the state."

So which is it?
What is Obamacare?
Marxism? Socialism? Fascism?
I know what my opinion is...

With single payer you eliminate insurance companies. That would cut out a lot of potential graft and corruption.

Because there is no such thing as government graft and corruption?

Perhaps you haven't been following the dots that lead to the Obamarxistcare web site which lead to family and friends of Obama, The First Sasquatch and Valerie Jarrett?
Creating a non-functioning web site that costs TEN TIMES what it should have cost? so far...?

HELLO??!!??

I think you misunderstood my comment.
You need deals with contractors like Solyndra to line the pockets of govt cronies, they can’t steal enough directly.

That’s why I firmly believe insurance companies (who have huge assets to tap for campaign money, etc) are NOT going away.

The Chicago mob (and the Clinton Crime Family) people are not really ideologues, they are crooks.
