And the REALLY sad part is the greedy ones are the ones in power, and the lobbying in Washington that pays big money to politicians to maintain the greed. Clinton started off with a good, basic model of bringing universal healthcare
to America, but the large corporate interests didn't like this because their profits, made off the backs of lower and middle class Americans, would go from 10 billion dollars to 7 billion dollars a year. And geezz..all of those 'lazy' poor and middle class people might actually get healthy! America is ruled by corporations...literally and politically.Jay
