Ronald Reagan on Socialized Medicine

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism, or socialism, on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can't afford it." Those are the haunting words of former President Ronald Reagan. Bill Whittle of ejectejecteject.com and Pajamasmedia.com has provided both a transcript and the audio clip of Reagan's discussion of national health care.
