They® moved our manufacturing jobs out of the country, just because. They® simply didn't care if it hurt the American worker. The American workers cost too much, They® said.

But we are saddled with this horrible health care system because all the players are addicted to the profit inherent in the US system.

Why can't the American health care consumer say. Enough with this shit! We are going to enact single payer and deprive you of your unfair profiteering on the health and lives of the American people!
