This may be another of my [in]famous stoooopid questions, so buckle up. :D

I read about countries (usually Latin American) nationalizing this or that industry, which to my fuzzy mind means the government has taken over running it, and the profits aren't going to fat corporate owners - well, maybe that part is fuzzier than the rest. But anyway....

And it occurred to me that the only way we're ever going to get true one-payer medicine here in the US, comparable to other truly civilized countries' systems, is if the whole health care system is nationalized. But then I wondered, is that even possible here? Or would such an action be unconstitutional or something?
