I hear that all other "civilized" countries have govt. health care (single pay...no health insurance company required).
And since everything related to medical expense (doctor, hospital, prescription drugs) is 300 to 400 percent cheaper in all other countries...
Yeah, I think that the U.S. govt. is definitely holding hands with the insurance, hospital, and big pharma to fuck the citizens of the U.S.
And even if you believe the fairy tale of "health insurance" (not catastrophic...but everyday use), then it's pretty obvious that when the federal govt. made laws saying that you can't even buy health insurance across state lines (because health insurance from a company based in Montana would be a lot cheaper than buying it from a company in New York) is 100% proof that there is a conspiracy to stop people from getting the most value (if you believe this shit) for their dollar.

I know for sure that the government is in league with the insurance companies and pharm companies and medical companies to help drive up prices. I don't doubt it for a second. I just don't think it is some grand conspiracy. I think it is like many other industries. Over time with lobbyist and political contributions these big companies have managed to get laws and regulations passed that aid them greatly and we the general consumer get fucked.
I don't think there is some group of guys who meet once a year in some shady room and sit around a table planning how they are going continue to fool all of us.
