The government would definitely be calling the shots on that - ergo, socialized medicine.
Carter was a dismal failure as president. Even The Camp David Accords, (for which he received much acclaim), was not his idea. It happened in spite of his misjudgement because Sadat and Begin did an end run around him.

Ok Bullseyebarb , you've made a couple of digs at me about wanting "socialized/universal" medicine to be introduced here in the U S , if you care to look at the situation we do have in fact have a form of socialized/healthcare here , but only if either you are a Federal/State/County/City employee,(h*ll even the town rat catcher has better benefits than the average working joe) or if you are indigent (read also illegal), in both cases they have cradle to grave coverage, otherwise, if you are lucky your employer provides it , and fewer do every year citing rising costs, If you switch jobs you lose your coverage until you are picked up by your new employers policy holder unless you make COBRA payments (good luck if you have a wife and kids or God forbid a pre-existing condition) .
Surly if we can afford to provide healthcare to all the pigs at the trough we should be able to provide something to the actual workers (taxpayers) who are producing the wealth and paying for it.
