Great...that’s what we need...hordes of more socialist hypochondriacs in the US. Question: Where did the notion that the government should pay your doctor bills come from?

“”Where did the notion that the government should pay your doctor bills come from?””

I’d guess with FDR but I really have no idea. I do know doctors were unheard of when I was growing up. Good old home remedies solved most everything - ear aches, leg aches, sore throats, colds, you name it. My father even treated a foot he sliced open with an axe in the woods with a compound used in the barn for the cows...Believe it or not that compound is still available and I’ve bought it myself for healing cuts and wounds.

When I started working in 1954, there was no such thing as insurance covering every ache and pain. Employers insurance covered major medical and that was it. It should have been left alone a long time ago...
