The for profit non-healthcare system in the US controlled by big pharma and insurance companies is a joke and an embarrassment around the world . Until we as people in this country decide to realize & understand that our society is and will be judged by history as to how we cared for our poor, young and old and that we dropped the ball and handed it over to greedy healthcare insurance co. CEO's(Kaiser-thanks Nixon) and sharholders and doctors who have all become filthy rich at the expense of our health.
The US is the most obese nation on earth and we rank very low on infant mortality rates. We need a universal health care system that will allow doctors to be doctors and treat patients and practice preventative medicine rather than stuff pills down their throat. Big pharma controls the FDA and the AMA so now doctors know little more than what they are allowed to know which seems not much more than writing a script for pills.
So long as health care is for profit, being run by insurance companies slaves to wall street, we will never have the so called best health care in the world, that other countries currently enjoy.
This will change when Obama becomes president however!
You liberals never cease to amaze me. You claim that big...this and big this controls everything...yet you always seem to leave out the proof. Just to stir emotions I suppose. Fact...Social Security will go bankrupt if nothing is done to save it (which will tons and tons of taxpayer money). Fact Universal Healthcare will cost billions of dollars....money that could used to save your other failed program(Social Security).
