[StrongBad]

Check out this little gem from 1961:

What's great about this is that it was actually released as an LP and covertly funded by the AMA against Medicare:

Furthermore, what I find absolutely intriguing is that all of the right wing's arguments against providing affordable healthcare are exactly the same today. Particularly where it's stated that if we start by instituting a mandatory insurance program, it will be the first step in an expansion towards full blown single payer healthcare.

Interesting stuff...
