[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3656599, member: 58386"] Just think for a moment what the quality of life would be like for this nation's elderly if it were not for the foresight of LBJ and other's in his party to create Medicare. In fact if it were not for the Vietnam War and the Cold War which served to drain the American treasury there is a strong possibility that M4A would be a reality today. Even back then the conservatives fought Medicare. Even Bob Dole that great conservative icon who started in the House filibustered the House in an attempt to get the Medicare bill back into committee where he believed he had the votes to kill it. What I find both disturbing as well as amusing is that conservatives are simply proud people stubborn to a fault who hate and resist change ...... until they find out that it's a good deal and are the first people standing in line to sign up and take advantage of it.
