    Why do you continue to speak of health care rationing and three month waiting lists in Canada, when residents of the country have disputed those claims? Is rationing by the insurance industry acceptable? Do you think rationing by the insurance industry occurs? More

    Answer:

    Listen to: U.S. Rep. Steve King (R-IA)

    King: Well, if you say get rid of Medicare, you have to say get rid of Social Security and Medicaid. Those policies are established, they have created constituency bases, our entire society and culture has been rearranged because of them. The family dependency that we used to have where we took care of our parents and grandparents among our family and we liked to have big families then, so we had plenty of kids to pass us around when we got older. That's all disappeared.
