the problem with socialism is that its leaders do not subscribe to the rules they impose on the masses. For instance, congress does not subscribe to Social Security. The have their own health program. We need to have a universal program in which the leaders suffer with the masses. Then, they won’t have the program. We need to chant on the streets, we only want the programs our public servants get.
Thatcher said it best:
“Socialism is wonderful until you run out of somebody else’s money.”
He who provides, decides. If Uncle Sam is the provider, then he’s the decider too.
What’s funny about all this is what ISN’T written about - The UK, Canada, and the Continent all have a THRIVING private health care system, with insurance and everything. If you have the means, you can purchase both insurance and care from a network of private providers and facilities.
