That's not what Universal health care is. And you can thank Reagan and the GOP for SS running out of money because they fucking stole it. I'm guessing you voted for them on that platform.
Attributing the failures of social security to Reagan and the GOP shows how uninformed you are on the issue. Reagans actions were in response to social security ALREADY being almost out of money. His plan obviously didn't work. My point is that social security's failure was (and still is) inevitable since governments, as an organization, simply can't run programs like that on this scale due to: bureaucratic inefficiency, lack of knowledge (see central planning), political motivations outweighing the objectives of the program in decision making, lack of accountability, lack of flexibility and responsiveness to changes, and unstable funding.
What do you call the excessive bureaucracy, lack of accountability, political motivations, and unstable funding associated with private health insurance?
