"Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.”
In 1964 Ronald Reagan was able to articulate the dangers of Socialized Medicine much better than most can today. For those that believe health care insurance rates should be between the insured and the insurer, and that the government's involvement should be limited to and directed towards creating an environment where the laws of supply and demand coupled with a healthy dose of competition reign should look back and study Ronald Reagan.
