Grandpa, being his nosy self again, was reading my entries in regard to the health care problem and when he got finished, he just sat there for a moment pondering the words I wrote. Then he had this to say;
“Boy, the words you wrote sound mighty familiar to me. Seems like I heard a man make an argument very much like the one you used some 50 years ago. It appears that the adage of history repeating itself has a lot of truth in it. Makes me wonder at times the hold a political ideology has over a man that he would attempt to get government to do something that has been rejected by the people as many times as socialized medicine has been.
Listen, boy, to the words of the man in this video. The arguments for and against socialized medicine haven’t changed in more than 50 years. The only thing that is different is the man who speaks them. Then ask yourself if the backers of socialized medicine are really the voice of the people as they promote themselves to be. ”
I leave the rest up to you, my friends. Myself, I respect the wisdom of those who came before me.
UPDATE:
For those of my friends who cannot see the video, here is a link to the youtube site where the video is from.

Alas, all I get is a black square so cannot digest whatever it was.
I CAN observe, though, that 50 years ago, my folks had no health insurance, didn't need it, healthcare was a bargain. Guess I'm too sentimental, but gosh, those were
the days ...:)
