To think that the very marketplace that is being skewed by the corruption and inefficiency of Medicare & Medicaid would benefit by a total government takeover is absurd.

Yes, Klarissa, it's really greed...the greed of insurance companies and Big Pharma, who continue to squeeze the last drop of blood out of the turnips who are oblivious to the collapse of our current health system and the burden it continues to place on businesses unable to compete in a global economy.
