In this video, Ronald Regan speaks against socialized medicine. If you object to President Obama's bill being characterized as "socialized medicine," watch this video. Have you heard of the Forand Bill, introduced by ex-Congressman Aime Forand? If not, you will want to, and you'll hear about it in this video. When you hear President Ronald Reagan speaking in 1961 in this video, it is as pertinent today as it was then. It is eerily pertinent. It shows us that nothing changes. It shows us that our freedom will always be under assault and in a country that cherishes freedom, and understands freedom, the assault always comes from the soft assault of socializing our way of life - which can sound so comforting and so right, but in truth, thieves the heart of liberty. Nothing changes. We must be ever vigilant. Americans will be fighting this fight when the end of time is upon us.
One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way medicine. It is 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 that possibly cannot afford it. - Ronald ReaganDefinition of "statism:" the principle or policy of concentrating extensive economic, political, and related controls in the state at the cost of individual liberty.
