And it’s constantly under the gun by conservatives. I’m not fearful of medicare itself, but the fact that we might one day get socialized healthcare only for it to be absolutely gutted by a reactionary government. That’s kind of what I meant by “sweeping and radical changes” - if we have the government run healthcare, we need proper oversight to protect something that important.
It’s really sad and ironic how something as Christ-like as keeping your fellow citizens healthy has become a target for Republicans to destroy. They are not interested in building or protecting, just destroying and harming.
