"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. . . .
Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it." - Ronald Reagan
And after 48 years, Reagan's dire predictions have proved to be wrong. Medicare is a good but like all programs not perfect. The fear is as baseless then as it is now.
