The bogeyman did come up in my conversations with small business executives. Steil told me many business owners can’t shake the notion that a national health care system means socialized medicine. Joe Sanberg, the California co-founder of Aspiration, a mass-market financial services company, said, “Opponents have been very effective at shaping a false narrative.

No proposals I’ve seen have advanced the idea of government ownership of hospitals and physicians practices, and no one is talking about it now, a point obscured in the media cacophony.
