> You're cherry-picking data.

No, I'm just remembering one piece of data off the top of my head.

> 1950 wasn't a utopia.

Definitely. Whether you could get access to reasonable (or even any) medical care depended on whether you were white. But one doctor has made a questionable decision about your father's care (by the way, you do know you can get second, even third opinions, even within a fully socialized system, right?), so you want to go back to segregated medicine.

> If you "voted for the other guy", in what way are you responsible?

"We" is society, not the individual. Society is responsible, and society is what you want to rely on, just without the "government" label attached. It's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard.
