Ronald Reagan - Medicare Myth Of Dictatorship

Bah hum bug, to you all LOL :)

can you believe this guy got elected? he was like the leader of the baby boomer charge to power, and yet this speaks against the number one thing that boomers make the centerpiece of every election "medicare medicare medicare!" fuck you baby boomers, fuck you.

Ha, absolutely, what Sakamachi said! LOL 正に、その通りです。

Ha ha! "Abridgement of the freedom of the people." People who have never read history, like this imbecile, don't know that 90% of their freedoms were CREATED by government. Anyone heard of the Bill of Rights? And who invented the 40 hour week, the weekend, and workplace protections? Why, the big, bad SOCIALISTS.

What Reagan wanted was the freedom to return to the system of corvee labor.

Yes, that is why private health insurance in Britain is common and profitable, despite more coverage than you can get on the very best plans in the US, for less money than you would pay for the very worst plans in the US.

(Actually, the reason why that's the case is that they are able to dump their mistakes or the really tough cases onto the public system.)

Right now, medicare only covers the highest-risk people.

If it were expanded to cover everyone, or even just everyone who can't afford private coverage, it would include much lower-cost people, who could easily pay more than they would, on average, use. This could make Medicare solvent.

Insurance companies cherry-pick the best customers (the ones who have the most money and require the least care). They are able to do this because there is no alternative for these people.

Actually, it would have just about equaled it.

It's amazing that so much of a speech from 1961 sounds so incredibly current. So many Republicans are screaming the same montra when it comes to health care reform. Yet the Republicans who are screaming Socialism the loudest are those who are now championing Medicare because our seniors like it. Politics at it's best . . .

thank you for debunking ANOTHER myth of health care reform

Reagan was an Asshole. Thank god my grandmother got help from medicare.
