re: #76 freetoken

This is what I don’t understand about people who are pouring out all the outrage over the current health-care proposals: Medicare is already a government mandated program, with taxes imposed to pay for it.

So if you accept Medicare as a legitimate function of the government, on what basis can one argue against broadening gov’t mandated healthcare to those under age 65?

It already exists…it’s called Medicaid.
