So brace yourself for some sobering math. The original Social Security bill, as dramatic a departure from the American economic way as any in our history, passed the House on April 19, 1935, by a 372-33 vote and passed the Senate exactly two months later by a 77-6 vote. The Medicare legislation, which built on the Social Security precedent and is a predicate for Obamacare, passed the House on July 27, 1965, by a 307-116 vote and was approved by the Senate a day later on a 70-24 vote.
Why should that ancient history be of concern to President Obama and Congress today?
Easiest question of the week. Because Social Security and Medicare, the 1935 and 1965 stepping stones to Obamacare in 2009, were among the most significant pieces of social legislation ever to win congressional approval. They passed by large margins, big enough so that history would record that Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson had developed a broad and lasting consensus for these initiatives.
These votes assured that Social Security and Medicare were regarded as mainstream landmarks in American social history. As a result, these two remarkable programs swiftly became accepted as unremarkable aspects of American life.
Today, Medicare attracts the concern not of opponents but of accountants, their worry being the demographic changes that imperil perhaps America’s most popular health program. And in the three-quarters of a century in which Social Security has been a cornerstone of Americans’ financial planning, only one major political figure, Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, has mounted an all-out assault on the program. He lost 44 states in his 1964 presidential campaign against Lyndon Johnson, who a year later was able to celebrate the triumph of Medicare.

We have been bombarded with the incessant accusation that the English/British form of the single-payer system is about unequivocal–RATIONING? YES!

The indigenous British people’s lives had already been disrupted by the importation of cheap labor from Commonwealth countries to drive the buses and run British Railway. Then family unification started and illegal immigration and the beginning of spiraling crime. RATIONING AND REDUCED HEALTH CARE CAME TO ENGLAND WITH AN OVERLOAD OF LEGAL AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, SUDDENLY THE UNITED KINGDOM FOUND THEMSELVES IN A TERRIBLE QUANDARY OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OF REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS. ALL PAID FOR BY THE BRITISH/ENGLISH TAXPAYER.
In spite of the restrictive immigration policies which have been in place since the 1970s in most Member States Of The European Union, large numbers of legal and illegal migrants have continued to come to the EU together with asylum-seekers and illegal labor.
