PolitiFact's Lie of the Year: 'A government takeover of health care'

1. Let's be clear

This bill is meant to keep the current system of private for profit insurance providers from going
bankrupt. It was meant to kick the can down the road a few more years and it may succeed.

It was not a government takeover, it was government intervention to stop complete and utter collapse.
