President Ronald Reagan unveils the tricks and lies behind the socialized, universal government healthcare proposals imposed by Congress and others in the government. Here are his comments on a Subcommittee of the US Senate's hearings in Los Angeles about compulsory government medicine. The hearing was supposed to gather facts and opinion but did precisely the opposite. Instead, the subcommittee used the hearing as an opportunity to try and hoodwink the audience. Reagan calls the committee's efforts "Senator [Ted] Kennedy's Roadshow.

Reagan understands that the issue of catastrophic illnesses that are long and costly must be addressed but they should not be used as a weapon to force all people into a government healthcare system that controls patients' rights and doctors' freedoms. He says "tragic injury or disease can strike any of us and the tremendous cost could go on for years ... but this specific problem should not be used to justify compulsory government medicine for everyone."

He ends with a quote from a prominent Canadian who spoke out at the traveling roadshow: "Do not bring American medicine down to the Canadian level. For now we look up to you." Senator Kennedy had an emotional outburst and silenced the opposition.

  • That's your ...

    That's your conversation, not mine. I don't have any interest in engaging in a discussion about any 9-11 volunteer or otherwise. I'm speaking on nationalized health care and what it will do regarding hyperinflation. Go to the 9-11 video's, you're in the wrong discussion.

    Did you actually read the stories of the 9-11 volunteers who were denied health care, or do you get all your info from Fox? It is shameful how our nation turned its back on these heroes. And these scare tactics of economic doom are being spread by the same Republicans who screwed up our economy. They had 8 years of Bush and 12 years of majority in Congress and look what the result is.

    If you want to pay $10 per gallon of gas or $5 for a loaf of bread, then you'll embrace a nationalized health care plan because that's exactly what will happen. But France, Canada, Great Britain, Cuba, and others didn't have this problem you ask? Those countries never accumulated the debt this country has either. Hyperinflation. Look it up, read about it, and get educated. You may get your free health care but you won't be able to afford the gas to drive yourself to the hospital. Fact.

    Check out some of the stories of the heroes of 9-11, people who volunteered to assist at ground zero and inhaled toxic dust, and then they were denied health care coverage. In other countries like Great Britain and France the victims of terrorism are 100% covered.
