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 (audio on the left.) There is no video because this was an LP sent out by the American Medical Association.


A shockingly prescient and chilling, video on the right, from an actual 1950's message.
Ronald the Great is 'spinning in his grave' right now.
