13. Read the following paper which i think illustrates just how badly we've been lied to on one issue,

just one issue, health care.

here is the paper to refer to. There are lots of other sources of information on the GATS but no other sources specific to the US like this one.

Why? Because the US generally was never told practically anything about this world changing FTA that was signed during the Clinton years. NOTHING.

First thing you will learn is that virtually everything in US politics today is "off" because of this huge omission.

All the reasons we've been told that health care is broken, basically biol down to its been done to support really bad trade policy that we're trying to export to the rest of the world, largely against their will.

Also, another thing you will learn is that the other side of the trade is jobs. Its entirely possible that health care has been a manufactured crisis to allow them to LOWER, not raise US wages in multiple areas, including most skilled services, teaching, nursing, probably IT, etc.

It just goes on and on.

And I wont even get into most of it here and now because it would just be too much.

I would like to hear what people think about this.
