      And it’s constantly under the gun by conservatives. I’m not fearful of medicare itself, but the fact that we might one day get socialized healthcare only for it to be absolutely gutted by a reactionary government. That’s kind of what I meant by “sweeping and radical changes” - if we have the government run healthcare, we need proper oversight to protect something that important.
