I am gently suggesting - only suggesting - that when it comes to anything that might hint of Marxism, Communism or Socialism...many Americans get a case of PTSD, and with good reason.

All the "Socialist" etc countries had a dictatorship-like situation almost from the beginning of their history.

I don't believe it would ever take hold to such an extent in the U.S.A. It doesn't have the long history attached to it in America.

If this health bill is being rammed through without adequate reading, preparation and amendment, then yes, loud protest is needed. I don't think that is right.

Factual change is a good thing, I think; but protest due to a knee-jerk fear reaction because one perceives a possible shade of pink in the proceedings is scary.

JMO. I'm not there, so it's only MO.
