Ida May Fuller was the first Social Security recipient.

She is a case study in socialized  medicine, too.   She is a case study in socialized anything!

Be assured that Miss Fuller did nothing wrong.  She was just the first Social Security recipient and is an example of what can happen with socialized healthcare, too.

Facts about Miss Fuller:

• She contributed $22 in taxes from 1937 to 1939.

• She retired in November 1939.
• She received her first Social Security check in January 1940.  That check was for $22.54.
• LINK LINK
• She never married and never had children.
• She lived with a niece.
• She lived to be 100.
• She died in 1974 after have received $20,944.42 in benefits.

Are there any “Ida May Fullers” out there who will be receiving socialized medicine?   The answer is YES!   They are the immigrants both legal and illegal will come to this country.  It will be the extended family members who will be sponsored into this country by their children who immigrated and became citizens.  These older people will be “Ida May Fullers”.

Who will pay for it?  The working taxpayers will pay for it.

I want to tell you all about what happened to my wife, Sandi on Oct. 23.   She fainted while driving to work.   She managed to pull over and come to. I was talking with her on the phone when it happened.  I was terrified! She is a 70-year-old woman and very head strong.  She insisted on driving on to work.  I met her at the her work just as the EMT ambulance from Richardson, TX, got there.  They took her to the hospital emergency room of her choice, which was Presbyterian Hospital of Plano, TX.  They wheeled her into the ER and gave her an electro-cardiogram.  They checked her over for the possibility of a stroke.  Then — get this — they sent her right in for a brain scan.   She also got an x-ray, an IV, and a blood test.   The brain scan came up negative for stroke.  She walked out of the ER after three hours.   I was so relieved!

Now the clincher!   Her brother, who is a heavy boozer, DID have a stroke about two years ago. This man lost his speech and was partially paralyzed.  He lives in London, England, U.K.  The socialized medicine doctors in London told him he needed an emergency brain scan.  Then they told him that the brain scan would take up to four months!  He would have to go on a waiting list.  He had to go into a private health care facility to get the emergency brain scan.  The whole thing took about a week. During that week,  he was in agony.  He eventually partially recovered.

Now you decide which is the best health care system?   That’s not all.  The British socialized HC is a scandal.  I have compiled a list of newspaper articles on the terror of socialized medicine.  Just click HERE.

Before we throw away a working healthcare system, the best in the world, we should think very carefully, then keep what we have!
