Obamacare, Saving American Corporate Capitalism

IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT OBAMACARE that is good? This is a serious question, and deserves a fair answer. Some of the books that Hitler burned probably made better kindling than reading material, so, everything is relative. How many insurance companires does a country need, in order to haved an insurance industry that is competitive? Isn't that the basis for a free market economy : competition? The american insurance industry would probably insist that it is capitalistic, it is free enterprise, which is competitive. But don't believe it. Corporations hate free enterprise. They much prefer monopolies, and corporate socialism. Verily, corporate socialism, and monopolisitic capitalism are what we have in the United States, in the American economy. Tax breaks for the wealthy, freedom from competition. And when free enterprise has already been destroyed by corporate power, what is to be done? One of two things: either restore true capitalism to the economy by using the long forgotten Sherman anti-Trust Act - does anybody still remember the Sherman anti-Trust Act?? - whatever DID happen to that piece of legislation, anyway? In our modern corporate control of the economy and the nation, has the Sherman anti-Trust Act been placed on inactive leave by our corporate masters? Does the fact that huge companies constantly merge in America tell us anything about who is in control, and who isn't? The American government is but a shadow of the America's real, corporate government. The legislators, courts, and executive offices of government are but mere trappings, decoration. Obamacare, like Roosevelt's new deal, has come not to destroy capitalism, but to save it, from itself. Without Obama, most of America's big financial services corporations would be out of business (AIG, Bank of America, etc, etc), the health insurance industry would condense into a single corporate entity, and the American economy would soon collapse, if it hadn't already. How brilliant, a president who uses socialism to save capitalism!
