Does anyone care about health?

Is anyone else finding it hard to find their piece of propaganda. I know I am. I found one thing that I thought was pretty good. It was video of a commercial that John Edwards had when he was still campaigning. It was promoting John’s universal healthcare program. In it, he says that universal healthcare is needed in America today. I completely agree with that statement. However, he goes on to say that he would take the legislations healthcare away if they wouldn’t pass his bill. This is obviously outlandish. He redeems himself by the end of the commercial by saying that its not fair that some people should have healthcare when many others don’t.
I believe that socialized healthcare would be a great institution in American society(that’s for you, Wendy). We are the only major nation that has no sort of universal healthcare. Canada has it. England has it. France has it. Even Cuba has it for fucks sake. CUBA HAS IT! They have virtually no money, yet they seem to be able to afford this monster that is universal healthcare.
Another thing that I hate about the American healthcare system is how the major companies, like Pfizer, feel the need to monopolize all the medicine sales. Generic medicines are far less expensive, yet we can’t get them here. It’s ridiculous. This country’s government cares more about revenue than it does about its own people.
