Universal Healthcare: What a crock of shit!

Oh stop already.

The reason the US market is in the tragic situation it is currently in is because politicians are all in the pocket of corporate America, and they let them do whatever they want. Do you really believe that the best thing for everybody is for politicians to totally bankrupt the country by giving trillions to corrupt companies with absolutely no stipulations? Do you really think the solution is less regulation? Less regulation for companies that don't care about outsourcing every job they have if the shareholders think it's a good idea? Less regulation for companies that are spending hundreds of millions on executive parties while laying off their entire workforce and asking the government for handouts?

I will agree that universal health care won't solve anything, but the reason is because all government health care does is hide the costs. American companies like to rape America. Even when I did have health insurance it was cheaper for me to get American drugs from Canada and from New Zealand because Pfizer, Bayer, Pharmacia and GlaxoSmithKline all want to break their cocks off in my ass.
