And if you don't [stop Medicare] and 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. Reagan's comments look pretty silly 40 years later, Medicare hasn't provided the results he predicted and is more popular than private health insurance. Even tea partiers want the government to "keep their hands off of my medicare."
I agree, his predictions sure didn't come true on that one. Someday I'm hoping the Republicans will come to realize he was just as flawed a human being as the rest of their politicians, and stop with the cultishness.

So a doctor decides he wants to practice in one town, and the government has to say to him, "You can't live in that town, they already have enough doctors, you have to go live somewhere else. And from here it's only a short step to dictating where he will go. Pretty soon your son won't decide when he's in school where he will go or what he will do for a livin [sic], but will wait for the government to tell him where he will go to work and what he will do. ...
