When the legislation that would become Medicare was introduced in 1961, Ronald Reagan created a recording for the American Medical Association (AMA) warning that such legislation would mean the end of freedom in America. He said that if his listeners did not write letters to prevent it, "we will awake to find that we have socialism. And if you don't do this, and if I don't do it, one of these days, you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children's children, what it once was like in America when men were free."
I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
PS: Paid medicare premiums for 35 years. Those payments DID NOT buy me any insurance, they paid for those who were retired and paid for THEIR health care.
Obama care was for everyone.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA or ?Obamacare?) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. A major overhaul of the U.S. health-care system, Obamacare aims to reduce the amount of uncompensated care the average U.S. family pays for by requiring everyone to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty.
Obamacare didn't have anything to do with Medicare.
