If the government is going to take absolute control of an industry, then why keep it private? Just fund it through tax dollars like NASA (although the lack of a private entity makes it a lot harder to skim off the top...)

How so? I'm not putting money into anyones pocket if I chose not to insure myself and then get sick and die. Well, my family puts money into the hands of the funeral industry but that would happen eventually anyway.
