Everyone of those programs have been successful. However, they have been abused and/or miscalculated. For instance, Social Security would still be very solvent had we not allowed our elected representatives to continually borrow from the funding of that program for the last 30 plus years. .
And what is going to keep govt run healthcare from the same abuses or miscalculations. I will answer...nothing. It is going to wind up just like all of the government entitlement programs, bloated with waste, fraud and abuse. We need to stop thinking that government is the answer to all of our problems and realize that their past performances prove otherwise.
The healthcare system needs a major overhaul, just not from the government.
I can't see why anyone thinks that the politicians care about our healthcare, this is simply another power grab by washington. To think any different is to be very ignorant of politicians and their desires
