>> "I can't believe Reagan opposed Medicare........."

A lot of people would have opposed Medicare had they seen what it would become.

Reagan had a foresight that few others had. He understood that Medicare would eventually kill our healthcare and unfortunately, he has been proven right.

Medicare is $36 Trillion in the hole. I can't think of a sole other than Reagan who saw this coming. And further, predicted that it would lead to repeated attempts by the socialists to take over our economy.

Why? He also opposed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.


You're right. I guess I keep seeing him as more like Arnold because he was from CA. But the truth be told, he was a hard core conservative.

I can't imagine being opposed to Medicare. And I bet the same heehaws disrupting the town halls and saying don't touch "my Medicare" voted for Reagan. Why don't these people ever connect the dots?
