Almost half a century ago, then-private citizen Ronald Reagan spoke out against government-run health care (a.k.a., “socialized medicine”) as proposed by Democrats of the day.

Below are three more-recent takes on the subject of socialized medicine. First up is ABC News’ John Stossel and filmmaker Michael Moore. It’s followed in the next video by observations of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.). Finally, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) shares his thoughts on the matter from his perspective as both a doctor and a legislator.
