"When State and Corporate interests merge" [View all]

An accurate description of Fascism?

Therefore, isn't the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare) a form of Fascism?

I realize the "improvements" over what we are under now and do not want it eliminated except if we could have any of the following:
A single-payer insurance plan like Canada's, make it illegal for health care to be "for-profit", or moving the entire privatized health care sector into the public sector.

Alas I realize the capitalist system has corrupted health care in the USA with deep roots in our financial system but why beat around the bush? Why not call it what it is..."Fascism".

Is that too harsh?
