As was the same partisan hackery when the FDIC (they claimed it would end private enterprise) was established, medicare was introduced (they claimed we were becoming socialists), and when FDA/SEC regulations (they claimed that it would force costs to skyrocket) were put in place. Hmmmm.
How did that all work out?
I have no idea. I didn’t get my crystal ball that will allow me to see how things would be if certain legislation hadn’t been passed. Would things have been better? :shrug:
BTW, I read a decent opinion piece not too long ago about how Medicare/Medicaid is responsible for much of the medical inflation we have had since they were implemented. Just as an aside. Not something I particularly want to discuss, but just lends credence that we just don’t know how things would have been otherwise.
