Jack, Jack, Jack.If Fox News had been around during the LBJ administration, there might not have been Medicare and Medicaid. These programs were created during his administration over the vociferous opposition of the Republicans and conservatives, who condemned these programs as socialized medicine. The programs were weak. Over time, successive Congresses strengthen the programs and made them more comprehensive. How do you think the existence of a right wing news channel like Fox would have made the programs stronger when the right opposed them so strongly? Fox has championed Paul Ryan's budget proposal, which would destroy Medicare. You really should educate yourself more before making such silly statements.
If Fox news had been around when Medicare D, the drug plan was proposed, the greatest expansion of benefits might not have happened.
Oh wait..... it did.
Another failed argument.
