Biden Admits: Democrat Health Bill IS a Government Takeover of Health Care

In a recent interview with ABC News’ Jake Tapper, Vice President Biden said he was attempting to persuade reluctant House Democrats to vote for the bill because “We’re going to control the insurance companies” once it passes.  In other words, the government will be taking control of health insurance – and thus health care – from the private sector.

Last summer President Obama spoke frequently of “misinformation” regarding the Democrat bill.  So who’s getting the “misinformation” now: the House Democrats who are being told by Vice President Biden that the bill is a government takeover of health care in an attempt to strong-arm them into passing the legislation, or the American people who were told by the President as recently as yesterday that the bill does nothing of the sort?
