Ummmm Never..

@SeaGreenEyez When people get something taken away that has been an important part of their lives they will respond. Even though conservatives are usually hypocrites they will be upset. The old ploy about blaming others won't work here. Sooner or later the republican enablers will start to see a picture emerging of where their 'boys' are taking all of us.

@SeaGreenEyez Got to talking with my barber. He said Medicaid is his sole health insurance and things would be really tough without it (like most of us here he is not a tRump fan). He said he only has to hold out 6 months and then he will be eligible for Medicare.

@SeaGreenEyez And one would think people like these would understand where the republican party has and is taking them and vote accordingly.

Until the reagan years Health care was non-profit, things like food were considered a commodity. In example, a loaf of bread was priced at "Fair Market Value". This loaf of bread cost me a quarter to make, and I need another quarter to pay my employees, I'll charge .75 cents. The reagan republiscum decide , to hell with that, people don't have to ea, I got mine. And food and fuel pricing went to "Market bear pricing". In example, I'm going to price this loaf of bread at 5.00 and when people stop buying it, I'll lower the price.

@MerlinZap Actually, it was Nixon in 1973. Reagan fucked up other things, like The Fairness Doctrine, but this one was on Nixon.

@Sticks48 Oh, well, I spent that year going around the world on a Guided Missile Destroyer. But I remember the pricing change under Reagan.

@MerlinZap l Googled it to make sure of the year. I had read this before.
