Posted By Progressive 6 months, 4 weeks ago in Health & FitnessWashington, DC - Health care reform is more than a social imperative; it is an economic necessity. A new study by the President's Council of Economic Advisers demonstrates that the current American health care system is on an unsustainable path.

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.
