It's not just the whole socuialized medicine, it's also the fact that we're about to rearrange 1/6 of the nations' economy, this is more than medicine, it's social engineering. But getting back to government handouts, as an example, Social Security, up until it showed up the poor were handled by churches, and other social organizations like the YMCA, or the Salvation army, (amazingly, these organizations still exist even with SS and other entitlements), in any case, SS is always on the verge of bankruptcy, when the end of the baby boomers goes through SS it's going to kill the working class young to support this mob, SS has also been prostituted to apply from every legit human problem to creating a legion of lawyers that make a living off of gaining SS payments for their clients.
Then we have another socialist program called medicare/aid came around in the 60s, again, another massive expansion of government, my parents worked their azzes off for 60 years, still, still! have to have a medicare gap insurance to pay for what medicare doesn't. So besides paying for themselves and several other's SS and medicare their whole lives, they still get raped at death's door and have to have extra insurance. There's little doubt this bill will end up the same, it will massively expand government, it will take from the working class and give to the non working, it will expand governemnt. Sort of like the old 60s tune, "take from the rich give to the poor now there are no rich no more"
or middle class either, for that matter.
