Universal Healthcare: Ronald Reagan Warns Us Against It

For over seven decades Universal Healthcare has been proposed by liberals and they are at it again. Yet fifty years ago Ronald Reagan, Reagan warned us about socialized medicine and fifty years later liberals are still attempting to take the same approach that history has shown to have failed. Listen to President Reagan's words from 1960 and see just how applicable they still are in 2009.

@margiemp you have just about the best healthcare that MONEY CAN BUY (keywords, money can buy). The fact is the US is the only Industrialised Country where people die because they cannot afford medical treatment.

Well the presentation did a lot of comparison of a national healthcare system to socialism, which i reckon is the big insurance industry's best defense assuming just the the word "socialism" scares ya. But the point is this, every American will be sick at some point in their lifetime. What in the world is wrong with allowing the American people to pool their healthcare contributions in a non profit type national coverage plan. What healing is ever acquired in insurance company's profits.

I'm sorry I could not take any further than 7:43. Bleh. Bye idiot.

@margiemp Stop the low paranoid card. Don't be and idiot. Medicine has nothing to do with democracy.

This video is so much bullshit that I stopped for a while before 3 min mark. But this is so low that I question the humanity of these idiots. If anyone believes this crap, you need a gauge on reality. Medicine for a advanced civilization is a right. NOT a choice. And only when govt can regulate is when that is possible. And that is the point of Obamacare. This is what would greatly help every american and eventually make the country great equally.

Start thinking progress.

Ronald reagan removed the regulations that led the the economic crisis.

Countries with decent bank regulation are mostly doing fine.. and they all have universal healthcare.

[margiemp]

does our system need to be overhauled yes. but trust me you do not want the government to run healthcare.why do you think so many people from other countries come here to get healthcare.?that is because its the best in the world. besides alot of countries are moving away from government healthcare.i am not an idiot and i know our healthcare system is the best in the world..do you really want the government to tell you what care you can get? i dont.

@margiemp Yet America has a lower LE than Cuba, and pays almost 50% more on health care per person than any other country in the world. I am all for a small government but when a system is so patently flawed it's pathetic to cling onto it in order to satisfy one's personal ideological view of the world.

@margiemp that's if you believe in bullshit...

[punkerleader]
