Quit lying about healthcare to support the greediest HMO and Big Pharma CEO's and investors. 50,000,000 Americans have no health care now and the gap is widening. The current system has a built-in prejudice AGAINST those who need care the most. It is highly prejudiced against the workingclass, including middleclass whites. It literally kills children and babies. And it wastes hundreds of billions of dollars which can be much more efficiently used to actually treat people.

The fact is that right now, under the corporate Bushies system, 33% of our healthcare dollars are going not to treatment and care, but into the pockets of Wall Street types and HMO CEO's, one of whom recently walked away with a 1.5 billion dollar benefits package. 1.5 billion for denying millions of Am ericans healthcare.
