...She also wants us to agree with her on socialized medicine....She wants our government to take control of America`s medical care, after all of these successful years....What do you think about that ?

Companies are in business to make money. Oil companies are no different. Take away that incentive and they'll close up shop or move to a more profitable venture. What will that do to the cost of gas, heating oil, natural gas, propane, electicity, etc.?
On the healthcare front, I think Rudy said it best when he mentioned that he had something like an 88% chance of recovery from ... what was it, prostate or colon cancer... here in the US with private healthcare, and only 44% in Great Britain, with socialized healthcare.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that she wants to federalize preschools.

Absolutely not. The solution to problems isn't more beurocracy, it has proven to be a detriment to a real solution time and time again. When government controls health care, they tell you how, when, where, and why you can use it.
If they start controlling public companies, they'll set their sites on private companies too. Give them an inch, they want a mile. It's juxtapose to the American Dream. If you were a business owner, would you want government coming in and taking over?

Someone needs to reign in public companies' obscene profits that serve shareholders instead of serving the consumer. Cutting profit margins - and excessive executive salaries - could help lower prices for these companies' customers. But that doesn't seem to matter much to the gluttonous corporate world. -RKO- 10/31/07

No, but to a point.
The insane profits of oil companies lately deserve to be reeled in a little for the benefit of the American consumer, and overall American economy.
The same can be said of the large insurance companies and healthcare providers.

I think if government healthcare is good enough for the republicans in congress then it's good enough for the American people.
The government already controls publicly owned companies such as water and electric companies. The reason they're regulated is that people need water and electricity and if they were allowed to regulate themselves they'd screw over the consumers...just like insurance companies do.

No and no, I don't believe we should have a government monopoly on medical care.

No, I also never heard her say that.
Never heard her say she wanted socialized medicine either.
Both are made up by fear mongers.
