You are referring to a service provided solely to the Marines? Um... yeah. That's not remotely the same thing.
"Marines"??? Now that's hysterical after the "Congress AND the Senate" jocularity.
MERCHANT "Marine": meaning CIVILIAN sailors: note again CIVILIAN. So precisely the same thing. A Federally imposed mandatory fee collected by the federal government to provide federally provided healthcare to American civilian citizens, the sole discriminatory factor being their employment. Okay, it's actually a bit farther as it's straight up Socialized Medicine isn't it?
Again, not even close to what has happened with the ACA. A military hospital or system that serves only the military is not the same as Federal collusion with private insurance companies in a combined effort to interfere with and control health care and to force American citizens to participate. It's Soviet-era central planning at its worst... now in America!....
It didn't serve "the military": The Merchant Marine are civilian sailors engaged in manning private sector vessels for commerce. Lordy.
Oh and given the mandatory fees collected from the civilians were used to fund the building, manning and operating of the medical centers that was a lot more "Soviet-style" than the ACA whose sole instrument of healthcare provision is the private sector through private insurance companies.
Wait: O.M.G.! The Second President of the United States and the Congress (largely made up of Founders) were COMMIES!

"For more than 200 years, men and women have served on the front lines of our nation’s public health in what is today called the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service. The Commissioned Corps traces its beginnings back to the U.S. Marine Hospital Service protecting against the spread of disease from sailors returning from foreign ports and maintaining the health of immigrants entering the country. Currently, Commissioned Corps officers are involved in health care delivery to underserved and vulnerable populations, disease control and prevention, biomedical research, food and drug regulation, mental health and drug abuse services, and response efforts for natural and man-made disasters as an essential component of the largest public health program in the world."
This is directly from the web site of this organization. You're just plain wrong. You mentioned John Adams and the origin of this branch of government is historically tied to the U.S. Marines. As in all things governmental, no program ever dies, it expands and grows far beyond its original purpose, gobbling ever more tax dollars.
Beyond you being clearly wrong about the origin of this thing, it has precisely jack to do with healthcare marketplaces and coerced insurance, unlike the ACA.

Not really the original act was for the sailors serving on civilian vessels. " the U.S. Marine Hospital Service protecting against the spread of disease from sailors" "Sailors" AREN'T "Marines", in or out of federal service.
?The "Merchant Marine" aren't "U.S. Marines" as in the Naval Service branch. "Marine" is a term for oceanic, meaning blue water sailors and not inland waters crews in that their concern was about the spread of disease from overseas.. Like: "Marine Biology" has nothing to do with the Corps members physiology. Though apparently that was later expanded to inland waters: a national historic landmark: http://www.marinehospital.org/past.htm
"In 1837, Congress authorized the construction of the U.S. Marine Hospital in Louisville “for the benefit of sick seamen, boatmen, and other navigators on the western rivers and lakes.” In the parlance of the day, “western rivers and lakes” referred to the Ohio and Mississippi river systems, and the Great Lakes."

That's hilarious, "free"! No, my healthcare cost has quadrupled with a $6,000 deductible. I'm paying for people who have no desire to work or even try to be healthy. Now obummer is going to fine me me if I don't have "free" health care. There's one born every minute.
I am not rich, I do not watch FOX news, the "president" is stealing from people to pay for this and fining them if they don't, it's not "free". My insurance cost has quadrupled with a $6,000 deductible and yes, he lied! You are not free to keep your plan if you like it! He is a lying and thieving socialist, get over it fanboy.

Defending Bush is either an Extreme Sport played by adrenaline nuts, or something from the Special Olympics, I'm not sure which.

Here's the original act:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/29099806/Act-for-the-Relief-of-Sick-DisabledSeamen-July-1798#scribd
"Act for the Relief of Sick & Disabled Seamen, July 1798
"In 1798, Congress passed legislation which essentially levied a tax from the wages of sailors to pay for the care of seamen in hospitals."
Wth July,
1798.CHAP. [94.] An act for the relief of sick and disabled seamen."
Very NOT about military... About a mandated healthcare federal fee. Plus those socialist hospitals...

So those Founding Fathers were a bunch of damn socialists and John Adams a Trotskyist.
