Medicare, yet another FAILed program from Democrats.

Yup -- my mom was an RN and I remember sitting in on "adult conversations" among my parents and their friends in the '60s as my mom told of doctors' predicting how bad MediCare was for healthcare in the US. It took a while but everything those docs said has come true. They saw it at its birth and didn't get to live to see their predictions come true.

Yep, even though my father was a staunch Dem and a union man, he too knew that Medicare was wrong.
He was also a WWII Marine with a Marine son (me), and when LBJ escalated the VN War and I got my orders, my dad almost had a stroke.
I doubt if he ever voted Dem again - and I know for a fact he voted for Perot.
