I'm writing in response to Enar Sanders letter in Friday's Sun in which he says, "The only thing that stands between moving the USA to a socialist state [are Republicans] ..." First, I don't believe the writer understands what socialism is, in terms of health care. Socialized medicine means the government owns and operates all hospitals and medical facilities and all employees become, in essence, government employees. We have never heard word one about our government 'taking over' health care in such a manner. Second, no one advocates (dare I say lobbies?) for seniors more than AARP, which fully supports the proposed health care overhaul, and if it's good enough for AARP, it's good enough for me.
