\nObamacare is now the law of the land. Because health care and wellness are such essential parts of our lives and our culture, America will never be the same.<\/p>\n

For now, Obamacare preserves a private financing system\u2014no public option. Nonetheless, it still represents a government takeover of healthcare. By eliminating risk assessment\u2013and seizing control of benefit determinations\u2014government bureaucrats will now choose winners and losers. Because we are all now ensconced in the same closed system, we each now have a direct financial stake in the health care received by every other one of us.<\/p>\n
