On Thursday’s Joy Behar Show on CNN Headline News, host Behar brought up a 1961 Ronald Reagan quote opposing socialized medicine being cited by conservatives, prompting guest Ron Reagan to argue that his father was wrong in opposing Medicare because some of the dire predictions have not happened yet. After Behar complained that "the GOP is always trotting out Ronald Reagan. I mean, can't they come up with something new? This was 50 years ago," she soon added, "He was the original fearmonger, too. I hate to say it."
Ron Reagan agreed: "Yeah, he was, but he was wrong, as we now see. And, you know, Rush Limbaugh can quote this all he wants, but he's just reminding people that my father in this instance was wrong. Maxine [Waters] is right, though, very sincere in his wrongs."
Earlier in the show, Ron Reagan had lamented that single payer socialized medicine is not currently considered an option for health care reform: "The most effective way to control costs and provide better health care for Americans was taken off the table from the get-go months and months ago – and that is universal single payer. That is what the rest of the world enjoys, but we can't have it here."
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Thursday, February 25, Joy Behar Show on CNN Headline News:

I miss Maureen.
Universal Single Payer is the biggest lie of them all. And it is not “enjoyed”.
Hey, you used “relevant” and “Joy Behar” in the same sentence!
And he does have Michael!
You really have to wonder if there was a milk man involved here. What a disgrace this twerp is.
Never an idiot seeking missile in flight when you need it.
Are we sure this little ballerina carries Ronald’s genes?
Joy, if nothing else, please learn to count.
What’s the total aggregate IQ between those two?
Notice how the actual topic matter is never discussed?
It’s not whether single payer or any of the several variants of socialized medicine is a good thing or a bad thing or a smart choice or a dumb choice. It’s how a conservative, the most eeeeevil conservative of them all was the one who generated the fear about them.
Message: Listen to conservatives and you will eperience fear.
Shame on him!
This disgusting persons act shows how people across time have been able to turn in their own family in favor of their Leftist beliefs (religion?) - China Red Guards, Khmer Rouge, etc.
The guy is a traitor to his own family and is so simple minded that he allows himself to be manipulated by the Left.
Screw all these bastards. God bless Ronald Reagan and the USA.
I didn’t know that little ballerina was still around.
Ronald Reagan was a wonderful human being, how the hell can that schmuck Ron Reagan even be his son, it boggles the mind. Michael Reagan is a class act all the way, yet Ron is a total whack job
“”He was the original fearmonger, too. I hate to say it.” “
You miserable little bastard.
Fine, don’t agree with your father politically. But to then go on TV and malign him like that?
Nothing but a puppet with a convenient name.
“After Behar complained that “the GOP is always trotting out Ronald Reagan.
Was that before or after she trotted out some guy named Ronald Reagan?”
Heh. LOL.
You really have to wonder if there was a milk man involved here. What a disgrace this twerp is.
Had to have been and yes, Ron Reagan is a disgrace. He must be mad that all he could really be without his fathers last name is a ballet dancer. And Behar - well, there is no words to describe her that are low enough. I hope she reaps what she sows.
