Universal Healthcare: What a crock of shit!

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.

And the prize for hitting the nail on the head and cutting to the chase goes to Racquel because she's absolutely, positively right.

The REAL problem we have isn't a need for LESS regulation and more of a free market solution like AngryPostman was advocating in a post above. And I don't think the answer lies with the government taking things over because frankly -- and no offense to AngryPostman if that's really his occupation -- but the fucking government can't even run something like the post office properly. So give me a break. If the government can't even manage to deliver a fucking letter to me on time, I have NO faith in them creating a system that's going to manage my health care.

On the other hand...where I wouldn't mind seeing more government oversight and regulations is over the pharmaceutcal companies AND insurance providers and the way that they currently business. Because Racquel is right -- those fuckers absolutely want only one thing in life: to bend you over and rape your ass for their own financial gain. And THAT'S where the fight has to occur to see REAL change at last.
