A lot can happen in 57 years.

In 1969 the corrupt President Nixon was president, the U.S. could not afford universal healthcare but did find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Vietnam.

In 2026 the corrupt President Trump is president, the U.S. still cannot afford universal healthcare but does find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Iran.

@randahl Sadly, Richard Nixon had a health care plan that he submitted in 1971. I have the impression that it would have been better than what existed at the time and what we are stuck with now. He couldn't get the support needed to get it implemented. I have read that Edward Kennedy opposed it because he thought he could get a better plan. He was wrong.
