to everybody who believes in health insurance, but hates socialized medicine,

what would be the difference be between the two if everyone in the country had health insurance?
I guess you could say that the government is not good at administering stuff and the private sector would do a better job.

given the clout of the medical industry and the insurance industry, I wouldn't be surprised if they lobbied for the federal government to pay for health insurance for everyone. I mean the insurance industry has already pushed through mandatory auto insurance and mandatory seat belt laws.
