Fifty million Americans do not have healthcare, millions more do not have ?adequate? healthcare. There are thousands of people suffering with ailments daily that should *not* have to suffer. The US is the most powerful country on Earth yet we?re the only civilized country on the planet to not have a universal health care system. We spend more money to exterminate life than we spend to save it. That says something about our mentality? and that something isn?t very flattering.
