Why this renewed assault? “Obamacare Sucks!!!” declared the former and possibly future president. For those offended by the language, these are Trump’s own words, and I think I owe it to my readers to report what he actually said, not sanitize it. Trump also promised to provide “MUCH BETTER HEALTHCARE” without offering any specifics.
So let’s discuss substance here. Does Obamacare, in fact, suck? And can we believe Trump’s promise to offer something much better?
Yep. Ronnie Raygun put out propaganda on LP, no less, before many of us were born, calling it “socialized medicine”. What’s that comrade? You want healthcare? Whadaya, a commie? Dying without healthcare is for red-blooded Muricans, because something something FREEEEEDOM (cue the end of Braveheart).

The ‘socialized medicine’ we’re talking about here was Medicare. The album came out in 1961, and by 1980 Reagan was a huge fan of that program. [By ‘huge fan’ I mean that he was smart enough to know that talking bad about it would cost him votes]
