Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine

Posted on YouTube by Wyatt McIntyre: From the 1961 Operation Coffee Cup Campaign against Socialized Medicine as proposed by the Democrats, then a private citizen Ronald Reagan speaks out against socialized medicine. There is no video because this was an LP sent out by the American Medical Association.

Data presented in an earlier video post at Benton GOP News, Uninsured in America:
Claim: 45 million Americans are uninsured

• 17 million live in households with yearly average incomes of $50,000 (38%)
  
• 9 million live in households with yearly average incomes of $75,000
  
• 18 million are the "Young Invincibles," age 18-34 who spend 4 times as much on alcohol, tobacco, entertainment and dining out as they would spend on health insurance (40%)
  
• 14 million of the uninsured are eligible for Medicade or SCHIP but choose to opt out (31%)
  
• 12 million illegal immigrants have no health care insurance but cannot be turned away from health care
  
• With "Compassionate Entry," Mexican citizens living in Mexico can receive free health care in border states

This leaves 8 million people of the claimed 45 million who are actually uninsured in America and either fall through the cracks and don't get health care or refuse treatment.

Claim: The numbers of "Uninsured in America" are exaggerated by advocates of universal (or nationalized) health care.
