To be fucking honest. The FDA needs to go. Allow patients and doctors to decide what is best for themselves. Keep the government out of my healthcare. You would see prices drop as the cost to keep up with Federal Beauracrat red tape, and competition drive down costs.

Let alone the fact that its the sole fault of the FDA that pharmacueticals are so damned high.


Anyways, I agree. I dont want state run hospitals, or taxing me to pay for the healthcosts of others who are entitled to such benefits like welfare, Food assistance, housing assistance, medicare, medicade, social security and so on. When I will not be allowed to draw on these benefits when I need them, because in America, social programs are usually excluded from the middle class who pay the higher tax burden, and cant afford much due to a lack of handouts from the government.

So to hell with socialist assholes who wish to take my money in order to make sure lazy assholes who have 9 kids to collect more benefits can get there doctor visits.

Sometime in October the US population passed 300 million we're told .

The census bureau says we live in household containing 2.6 people per household per the 2000 census .

That makes about 115 million households in the US

We spent 1.42 trillion dollars on medical care in this country last year and that includes drugs .

How much would each household be required to chip in per year to reach that 1.42 trillion dollars ?

1.42 trillion divided by 115 million

He gets $465 a month social security disability payments. His medical care is mostly covered, but not things like catheters which he has to pay for and needs everyday. He lives in a low income appartment and pays $265 a month and that includes utilitys except phone and tv . He works 4 hours a day , the longest he can because if he stays on his but longer than that he gets big holes in his but that could kill him. With his $465 a month and what he makes cleaning jewelry he makes under a 1000 a month. With his rent and medical supplies the goverment will not pay for he spends about $550 that leaves him about $450 a month to eat on and pay his cab bills back and forth to work . If anybody thinks living on disability is a picknick you should look at people like my brother .

You stupid bastards.

These stupid women need to get a real look at life and people who cannot do for themselves. They stuck my kid brother in dummy classes for awhile . He's smart as a tack , nothing wrong with his mind but he was in a wheel chair so they stuck him in dummy classes .iI can tell you that in those dummy classes were people who were not smart enough to wipe their asses without leaving a brown streak. I can also tell you that many of those dummys have had children some of those kids are smart and can't help it there old man or old lady is a dummy and they need a little help . Most of them work some job the welfare lady gives them and get a check but its no party type of life. These two dumb bitches seem to think it is. What goes around comes around and I'd say both these bitches will need something one day and somebody will treat them like dirt I hope when they do.
