Universal health care is one of those leftist rallying cries that will not die, until it delivers us unto tyranny first.
It's one of the more serious of the leftist cancers.
one of the reasons why I support reimportation of drugs from canada is that it would put a heavy strain on their system. Price controls would collapse as canadians would be paying for cheaper drugs for us (and there are a lot more Americans than canadians). Combine that with a harper govt and you could see the end of socialized medicine there.
The idea of Universal healthcare has been around since FDR. Truman picked up the banner after FDR died, and it was also part of Nixon’s agenda.
