Jan 2016

some people here have trouble dealing with the truth; rightwing, serial killer insurance agencies still control health care in the USA. And medications are insanely unaffordable.

Anyone in their 20s or 30s needs to try to migrate to a first-world country that believes that health care is a basic human right.

I don't see that this nation will ever stop the graft and corruption of congress by the insurance agencies.
