Uh dude, Nixon didn't sign any bill with privatization provisions for medicare. GW Bush will.

Bush signs a bill that is 99% new spending, 1% privatization, and all you're interested in talking about is the latter. LOL!

Before you make such specious claims, please go and read about the provisions of the bill HERE

Be sure you go to the second page, which discusses Medicare reform, medical savings accounts, etc.
