>> Trust me on this....it will never be repealed.
There will come a day — mark my words — when we simply WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS.
What then, FRiend? I think new arrangements will be made. Or they will be repealed, in effect. Call it what you will.
Has it not occured to you yet that the day of which you speak is already here?
I'm sure you understand that the funds to pay for the new socialized healthcare system in the US do not exist now, cannot be borrowed at a decent interest rate, and that the US cannot even keep up with the interest payments on the debt it has now, right?
Further, in order to remain "solvent" (or give the appearence of being so), the US will continue to print money (thereby increasing inflation) and borrow at unfavorable rates. This will - in a short time - ruin the country completely.
To reverse this trend, at least the new socialized healthcare system would have to be privatized.
But guess how many folks that would leave without their "govt paid for or govt subsidized" healthcare? Oh...I erred. I didn't mean to use the term "folks"; I meant to use the term VOTER.
Does anyone think for a skinny little minute that these "folks" will vote for anyone who wants to take away their healthcare - regardless of the moral/ethical/common sense reason(s) given?????
Just try running for votes based on the repeal of SocSec, or Medicare, or Medicaide....and now Socialized Medicine.
No, my friend...the day of which you speak has already dawned....
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS
Thats when they start pulling the plug on Grandpa and Grandma...for starters.
And start working their way down on “who gets to live list”
