Corporate Greed Vs People's Health in America »
Posted By ameliog 3 months, 2 weeks ago in Business & Finance
As the health care discussion has gathered momentum in the U.S., there is increasing evidence of the role played by corporations and politicians to hinder provision of adequate health care to the majority of Americans. The result is that the U.S. has one of the worst health care systems among industrialized nations.

Corporate greed is the major setback for quality healthcare in this country. People are denied health insurance because of chronic or prexisting conditions. People are also denied medical treatment if it is considered controversial or too expensive. It gets to a point where morality is very gray area. The dollars are more important.

Ridiculous. People who bitch and moan about corporate "greed" screech like impotent choir boys about the same corporations in which they own shares. Hypocrites. It's just like Michael Moore-on - all corporations are EVIL except for Domino's Pizza and Krispy Kreme.

I tell ya what libs, why don't you throw garbage cans through the windows at Starbucks since they are an evil corporation. Just make sure to finish off your grande mocha frappuccino first.
And shut down your computers, your iphones, your ipods and your iwhatevers because "evil" corporations made those damn electronics that you carry around outside while you're walking around with you nose up in the air.
Liberal hypocrisy is astounding. -

We are not an industrialized nation any more, otherwise our people would have jobs instead of being forced in to whatever for money to live on. The Cat is finally out the bag and confirmed. Congress made laws that were in favor of monopolies. Which keeps the money in the Hands of a few which starves the masses from an honest life. That is the reason for our high crime rates and Death rates in every aspect. It took a depression or recession as they call it to bring it to the eye of the public. Our Congress has forced We The People to basically live in a money trap situation for decades. The only jobs out there anymore are law enforcement jobs because they plan to incarcerate all they can to keep money and control in their pockets. Now we know why subjects like government is not given for one year mandatory in the high schools like they were in the early seventies. Biology, sociology and psychology, things that make a mind strong. By having less brilliant people here helps them to continue to rule our lives. They are already building more prisons for the masses of crime breakers they have forced in to crime. The insurance industry is among the many. We now have the pharmaceutical, AMA, Realities, Banks, Telecommunications, Utilities, gas, retail and that is just a few. They all have business laws that allow them to trample on the public. Both sides of Congress seems to have grown rich with these laws while they kill off the population of America.
