Yeah, Buck. When I was a kid in the city before Medicaid we had to have plows come out every morning to shove the dead people out of the gutters. Everybody over 65 died in agony from infected cuts from cat food lids.
I lived in the "good old days," Buck.
Medicaid was the result of Federal pressure to replace what they called "piecemeal" solutions for caring for the poor - and there were many of them - with an overriding Federal program. We were told back then what we are often told now, that the centralization would lower costs and make things work great. Modern Medicaid was actually a compromise with the supporters who wanted the system to be totally Federal.
"There isn't one." It's interesting that after specific examples of alternatives to Federal socialism, your mind still can't process the idea of anything other than the Federal government as a solution. How does one get that way? Subliminal suggestions on MSNBC?
