Obamacare was another step toward total nationalized health care. But the word I used, "companies", is too restrictive. Here are some better examples of nationalization of the private sector in the US.

The Nazi regime did not have any scruples in applying force and terror,
if that was judged useful. And in economic policy it did not abstain
from numerous regulations and interventions in markets, in order
to further rearmament and autarky as far as possible. Thus the regime,
by promulgating Schacht's so-called New Plan in 1934, very much
strengthened its influence on foreign exchange and on raw materials allocation,
in order to enforce state priorities. Wage-setting became a task
of public officials, the capital market was reserved for state demand,
and a general price freeze was decreed in 1936.1 In addition, state demand
expanded without precedent. Between 1932 and 1938 it increased
at an average annual rate of 26 percent; its share in GNP exploded in
these years from 13.6 to 30.5 percent.2 As a consequence, private consumption
as well as exports were largely crowded out.
