20-30.000 used to die in the US, each year because of lack of healtcare.

Follow the money.. who makes money on the system beeing partly privatized / socialised. The insurance and drug companies!

They want to keep everything as complicated as possible.

If you want the US to be the special snowflake in the world that keeps wanting to privatize the healthcare system, expect to pay a premium. The incentives for the insurance and drug companies is to gouge the american people.. and they keep paying politicians to do so!


"Snowflake" must be your new favorite word. How cute...

Now, as to the bits in bold, how about some proof?
