That makes one ask just how much profit they make off of sickness and death.<br /><br />And crooks running it all. That's no surprise. <br /><br />I'm sure I've said this a hundred times, but I'll say it again. We are not living in a democracy. This, my friends, is called a Corporatocracy. It's run by the pharmaceutical companies, the banks, and large companies like Wal-Mart. <br /><br />And the Conservative bastards who scream about how terrible socialized medicine is, are <b><i>liars</i></b>. I have family in the UK, and they can go to any doctor they want, even private doctors, and if they do that, the government reimburses them for a percentage of it, whatever amount would have been paid if they went to a public doctor. It's all lies, which seems to be the core of the Conservative message.<br /><br />And the Democrats, total FAIL. Such a disappointment. They need to grow a spine and tell these lobbyists to go screw off, but that won't happen.
