The reason the healthcare system is broken is that private enterprise and the states completely broke it. Any problems that are in progress are due to obstruction by the Republican Party who are actively working to sabotage this bill and this President. Even before Obama took office they said they would oppose everything and anything he tried to do.
There are several large Federal agencies like the IRS and Medicare don't have problems with collecting personal data.

what evidence do you have that the FBI, CIA, NSA, GCHQ et al are not run by simple crooks?
What, facilitating the sale hard drugs [wikipedia.org] in America or selling military equipment on the black market [wikipedia.org] to "axis of evil" type countries is not criminal enough? People forget the criminal history [wikipedia.org] of some of these organizations rather quickly and seem to ignore the current ongoing [commondreams.org] continuation of the same [matthewaid.com]. Guess that propaganda and a firm grip on the corporate mass media message reaching the majority just works. We have a serious amount of evidence that those organizations have committed egregious crimes, so the real question is: How do we know/guarantee that they are NO LONGER being run by criminals?
