Ronald Reagan's commentary on socialized medicine from 1961

This speech is as true today as it was back in 1961. In this video clip, Reagan talks of how in 1927, an American Socialist, Norman Thomas, 6 times a candidate for President under the Socialist Party ticket said the American people would never vote for Socialism, but under the name of Liberalism, the American people would adopt every fragment of the Socialist program.

Reagan also goes on to say that if the American people were given the chance to choose socialized medicine, they would unhesitatingly vote against it, as was seen during the Truman administration.
