What is so unclear to our politicians be it Republican or Democrat about our broken health care system? The US cannot spend 18% of it GDP on health care. This figure isn’t even static it is rising. We should all be alarmed by this number alone never mind that is ranked 37 in the world in terms of quality and service. Germany spends 5% of it’s GDP and covers a 100% of it’s population, we have over 45 million uninsured and the rest paying exorbitant rates and getting lousy coverage. Not to mention 2547 families file bankruptcy everyday because of medical expenses. This is not only amoral this is a disaster. We are getting ripped off by insurance companies as well as providers.  Yet our politicians are helping the Medical industrial complex continue this abuse. We needed change and instead we got used by someone who we thought represented change.

We will get change and we will do it on our own no doubt in my mind about that.  The injustice of it won’t stand and it will not be the only battle we the people will wage, there are many fights for us to ponder and mobilize on.  I feel the people have just begun to fight back and try to take the country back. We will succeed!

Now for the logical part of this diatribe. It seems to me that we have developed a system in this country that is completely run and owned by vested interests. Pharma has more power then all the people in the US. Yes they do, they can hold the Senate hostage to their demands. We can’t import drugs. Why was opening up the boarders to China and other countries for trade okay  and it but not for pharmaceuticals? It was because Pharma wanted it so. So guess who pays? We do Republican morons as well as Democratic ones.  We can’t even get these idiots to see that lowering the cost of Medicine is critical to the health of this countries economy never mind the people themselves. Providing for real reform would have been a tremendous boost to our economy on all levels including the personal level. I find it incredulous to hear educated people quote morons like Glen Beck and O’Reilly. What about getting reform and I mean real reform is mysterious? I will continue finishing this article a little later I need to go throw up.
