Ronald Reagan On Socialized Health Care

This is an old radio clip of Ronald Reagan speaking of socialism and health care. I found it to be very interesting and relevant to the health care debate today. There are a few comments that were very poignant especially the last comment. Thanks to RickVanMan for the music clip.

Strange how Ronald Reagan was ahead of Obama almost before Barak was born.

Kozmo, this "red scare" is not a theory. Fascism was a socialist movement. Nazis were socialists. The hundreds of millions of people murdered by their own governments allowed these and other socialist governments to come into being. Before their deaths, many of them accused those who warned them about the horors of socialism of being kooks, crackpots, and selfish fearmongers.

This is the old red scare stuff. The Regan is supporting a fascist government that put alot of innocent people behind bars. There is a reason why it 's call red SCARE. To scare people using a fascist governmental to strong arm people.

The only organization influencing my health care is big insurance. Insurance that dropped me when i became sick. Do you really want insurance deciding what care you receive. They are a for profit.

SOCIALISM- a theory or system of ownership of the means of production and distribution by society rather than by individuals. COMMUNISM- Socialism as formulated by Marx, Lenin,etc.

I don't know what's funnier, that he dismisses the opposition argument because it's an "emotional appeal", or that he's arguing "minority rights" to kill MediCare in 1961 when black Americans were little more than slaves.
