the medical industry is the tail that wags the dog and we sheep just let it get worse and worse - i'm a believer in capitalism but the one exception is the medical industry, there should be wage and price controls of the entire industry. it's not like any other industry, i do believe in any human society that good medical care is a right, whether you're a lazy unproductive parasite who drinks and eats himself into sickness or not.
all the talk about the deficit, a big part of that deficit could be knocked down by containing medical costs - the way you do it isn't by capping services to the sick, it's capping profits by those who provide care and all that goes with it. at one time people went into the healthcare field because it was a calling, to care for people who were sick and help prevent illness - greed took over the profession when drugs and technological advances opened the floodgates for the merchants of greed. you can't get lower than the insurance industry, well ..... then there's the banking industry.

Getting rid of the immigrants would help, too. Now we got Obama pandering to them fuckers. That's one thing I hate about the left - they've been cheering on the legal and illegal massive immigration into the US, especially in the past 20 years. They always want to quote that fucking inscription on the Statue of Liberty, ?give us your tired, your poor, blah blah blah? Guess what? That was written by a poet who was specifically payed to write some profound shit about immigration. Stop acting like George Washington wrote the fucking thing.
We hear over and over again about all these businesses that supposedly are going to go out business if they can?t hire immigrant scabs. Well get the fuck out then, and take the immigrants with you. Go move to fucking Mexico with your business instead of exploiting the US as a base of operation. Look, man, just get the fuck out. Go overseas. Go offshore. Move your damn business to a foreign country. What good is a business in the US that isn?t even hiring Americans anyway? These businesses are nothing but parasites in our country. If all a business can do in our country is just be a parasite by hiring illegal scabs, then just move your damn operation offshore and get the Hell out of the country. Keep hiring immigrant fucking scabs, so American kids can sell oxycontins for a living with their universal healthcare and join gangs.
