Are doctors much more than pill pushers these days? I was just at the dr. She saw me for about 5 minutes, prescribed no tests whatsoever, and prescribed medicine that after reading a lot about it on the Internet, I feel is way over the top and inappropriate for me. I’m switching to a licenced acupuncturist.

Single payer with all rates set by a commission where all interests are represented. Most of all the insured should benefit, not eviscerating corporations, who are not people but a entity!!!!

The notion “force of law” to compel people to purchase an “insurance health service,” with tax “penalties for uninsured” from tax exempt” corporations is reprehensible. Health care cost like energy cost are destroying Americans while Exxon Mobile makes record profits and Americans are mandated to purchase, that which they already cant afford! WTF kind of horse’s shit is this!!

A national energy policy designed to reduce the per capita cost of energy, to earmarks those funds for healthcare, and a new economy based on real energy production, using solar energy to liberate hydrogen, on demand hydrogen production for vehicles and home heating liberates America from the greed of oil speculators! Hydrogen liberation from the most abundant element on earth “h20″ using solar energy to effect the liberation, no longer puts our well being in the hands of speculative oil whores!!! Using the two most abundant “elements,” water and “sun” we can free America from the clutches of oil whores and protect, planet, reduce the 11 billion a day we spend to fuel our vehicles!! Create a new vibrant economy predicated on energy development, not stagnation for the financial benefit of speculative oil whores aka corpo-aristocrats hell bent on a hundred years war to scam off with Iraq’s Oil. It is and has been all about the black gold since the end of WWII. Unfortunate, the issue of energy has been around since the start of life on earth, we still do not get it!!!!

I have lived in both Sweden and Canada and experienced excellent care in both countries. A little socialism here, please.

Thanks guys. Now if I could just figure a way to put this into action.

Action is the big problem. I think that we all feel so isolated. It is a big world that is hard to make a dent in. We have to.

They’ve changed the name Green Zone to International Zone, so people won’t realize it’s the Green Zone getting bombarded. JMHO
