re: #265 Hecuba’s daughter

These flaws in the healthcare system preceded the contemporary debt problem of education. It should have been solved years earlier but our devotion to a particularly rapacious form of capitalism had prevented any serious attempts at dealing with it. Though Nixon did have a proposal that Ted Kennedy rejected — but those were the days that Medicare was still new and Democrats thought something better was possible.

And Ted Kennedy subsequently rejected Carter’s healthcare legislation.
