Reagan quote
'''Socialized medicine''' is [[health care]] as supplied by a [[monopolistic]] or heavily-[[subsidized]] and regulated [[universal health care]] system.
'''Socialized Medicine''' is [[health care]] as supplied by a [[monopolistic]] or heavily-[[subsidized]] and regulated [[universal health care]] State system.
[[Ronald Reagan]] said [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRdLpem-AAs&feature=player_embedded]:
{{Cquote|'''One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. . . . Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it. We have an example of this. Under the Truman administration it was proposed that we have a compulsory health insurance program for all people in the United States, and, of course, the American people unhesitatingly rejected this.'''
'''The doctor begins to lose freedom. . . . First you decide that the doctor can have so many patients. They are equally divided among the various doctors by the government. But then doctors aren’t equally divided geographically. 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 someplace else. And from here it's only a short step to dictating where he will go. . . . All of us can see what happens once you establish the precedent that the government can determine a man's working place and his working methods, determine his employment. From here it's a short step to all the rest of socialism, to determining his pay. And pretty soon your son won't decide, when he's in school, where he will go or what he will do for a living. He will wait for the government to tell him where he will go to work and what he will do.''' }}
