I’ve had comments to make before about the background of “nationalized healthcare”, what it’s problems are, and so on. Here’s Ronald Reagon in 1961, before there was Medicare or Medicaid, let alone the recent takeover of healthcare by the federal government. He was amazingly prescient, wasn’t he? He completely nailed the agenda behind Medicare, and the incrementalist approach he predicted is now historical fact.
I miss him.
As for the incremental approach, you don’t think the Left plans to stop here, do you? Some may cavil at my characterization of Obamacare as a “takeover of US healthcare”, but regardless of where you think that line should be drawn, it is clear that the Democrats intend to cross it. They are, by their own public pronouncements, not nearly done with the process of socializing American medicine. This is only the first step. They’ve said as much.
In the end, if we cannot reverse this monstrosity, we will all suffer for it, including even the now “uninsured”.
