Reagan Ad Opposing Government Takeover of Health Care

a society is as good as how it treats ALL people

[mikegalsworthy]

woah - what inspirational fearmongering! Quickly USA - stop the socialized police and fire brigades - they're in evil government pay and slowly slowly bringing communism! Your basic safety, access to roads, schooling and access to information about your rights should all be privatized immediately in order to prevent the 'big' government from bringing in Communism under the guise of guaranteeing your wellbeing!

Im just gonna say this: Fuck Ronald Reagan.

[mrbrewhaha]

Reagan was right. The program did pass just as surely as the sun rises. It's called Medicare. And then Reagan cashed his check from the AMA just as sureley as the checks he cashed from GE.

Unintentionally hilarious, camp old video to the rest of the world...serious nostaligia/paranoia fest for the USA.

[leobaby]

This ad is disingenuous. Reagan opposed Medicare in this advertisement; yet you won't hear any republicans suggesting we dismantle it.

Which is the way that healthcare lead us to communism? Can you explain it to me?

[DanAtMnMajority]

It's not difficult to follow. When government runs industry, it's socialism. When government owns industry, it's communism. Health care is an industry. The federal government already runs half of all health care in the nation. With the health care bill, Congress and the president want to take over all of it.

[DanAtMnMajority]

Actually, if government owned the hospital, that would be communism.

[TheKevinWalker]

Ok, owning one hospital doesn't even come close to Socialism, let alone Communism. If anything, letting that hospital compete against private hospials to help reduce cost is the backbone of Capitalism.

[mmcintee]

The definition of "socialized medicine" is the Government owning the hospital. There is nothing in the health care bill that does that. Please stop trying to imply that. It's wrong, and does nothing to advance the debate on health care.

What do you call it when the government decides what medical treatments will be available to you and your family, when the government enters the health insurance business, when the government mandates that all people must own government-approved health insurance? I call it socialized medicine.

This "reform" (Deform) is a facade to push gov't control, it takes away choice despite the lies. No more choice in plans, and the 787Billion "silmulus" (pork) heap set up a bureaucracy that monitors and will approve or disapprove treatment that you own doctor prescribes. And what about invasion of privacy, the left used to make that an issue...same goes with deficit spending.

Check out the video I shot of PELOSI admitting that prison is fitting for those who refuse to buy health insurance.

@mnmajoritydotorg It works well here in the UK. And the US system is a total shambles: Results of the Commonwealth Fund 'Mirror Mirror on the Wall' report, 2010, which examined seven First World healthcare systems. Overall rankings: 1. Netherlands 2. United Kingdom 3. Australia 4. Germany 5. New Zealand 6. Canada 7. United States

Debate? The elites in charge are not debating; they are ignoring the public's outrage of this unconstitutional law that forces people to buy health insurance.

It's about subsidies to pay the way for others, no matter that Millions of Americans choose not to buy it. Now it's based on "TO each according to his need FROM each according to his ability".

Pelosi doesn't care about how many partisans they will sacrifice in 2010, as long as they pass the president's radical (Marxist) agenda.

Dang sure miss the man. The greatest President of the last 100 years. And this Obamacare is the last thing we need. Reform - yes. Obamacare ain't reform, it is the next step to Facism-Communism or whatever you choose to call the version of the State running your life.
