You've made an excellent point. 1951 is embarrassingly late.
I'll do you one better. Lobotomies weren't restricted by the US government until 1977. Even the USSR had banned them in 1950.
Yet still, supposedly informed and intelligent Americans are falling all over themselves to give our government a larger role in our healthcare. What does that say about that group? Are they even less evolved than witch burners?
I'm sorry, dear, but comparing people who thought it was perfectly acceptable to torture men, women, children and animals to death in the name of their hysterical religious beliefs isn't quite comparable to the government becoming involved in the business of healthcare.
That being said, I'm pretty sure I've stated before that I'm truly sorry FDR died when he did. If he had gotten his Second Bill of Rights passed, NONE of this would even be a point of discussion.

I happen to believe that in a civilized society healthcare is part of the community package. Funny, every native culture had teachers, hunters, healers, craftsmen, and everyone worked together to make the community work and thrive. Everyone was educated, everyone had a home, everyone who needed to be cared for was (contrary to modern myths, the elders of the tribe were not thrown out, they were the counselors to the leaders, and the teachers of the younger generations, their experience and intellect was respected).
Fast forward a few centuries, and now we have arrived at a place where only those who can pay for education, housing, healthcare, deserve it, period. Fuck your fellow man, screw him for all he's worth, take from him what you can, work your employees until they're so stressed they fantasize about shooting you in your sleep, and make money, money, money and bitch about helping those who aren't as fortunate, intelligent, ruthless or flat out greedy as you.
I hate this fucking civilization.
