In this case it's 'would you like to socialize medicine' or 'keep it the way it is?'Really we need less control on the med industry than is already imposed. Competition is the key. Who can provide the best care with smallest costs? An alternative to revamping the whole system is saying NO to big pharma companies. Prevention is 100x cheaper than actual treatment. Many medical problems can be prevented by healthy diets and living in a clean atmosphere(by that I mean less carcinogens). I have always wondered why cancer rates have skyrocketed. Is it because of all the nuclear testing that has been done? Cancer is their golden goose. Rather than cure it, med industry would prefer to rack up medical bills. In short, it's a racket. All about $$$ I suggest researching codex alimentarius.

Whatever the case, something needs happen with the issue(s). Wonder how this will affect me (financially) when I eventually get done.
