The Promise Of Health Through The Transfer Of Wealth

The so called health care system that Americans currently "enjoy" can
only be described as a DISGRACE.

Almost any change to it would be beneficial.

It is designed and operates in such a way that the Industry rakes in
huge and often obscene profits; this being aided and abetted by Big Pharma
in a spirit of mutual profiteering.

Germany is the best example for Obama to use, it clearly shows that a
fair system can be run by the state and that it is primarily for the
benefit of the people. No one falls through the cracks and no one needs to
suffer due to lack of money.

Those powers active in America today that tirelessly solicit
donations from Joe Citizens who voted against Obama are mounting a huge
effort in an attempt to convince Americans that their freedom is under
attack and that they will be worse off under anything that would change
the status quo.

These powers rely heavily on the perceived stupidity of the average
American citizen.

Let us hope that there is much more common sense and innate
intelligence in today's America and that the voices who dumped the failed
system of George Bush can be heard again, loudly and clearly.
