Are you sick of being sick?
Suffering way too much Bush-induced nausea?
Well, tough

The only people who aren't outraged right now are the ones who aren't paying attention.

And some of the worst health care on the planet. If you disagree than why are so many hospitals closing down, answer: they have turned into corporations.

That doesn't make any sense. If they were turning into corporations then they'd be making money and wouldn't need to close down.

Because the insurance companies are squeezing them out of their research money. Thats why they want tort reform. The premiums are too high for medical malpractise, some of which is neccessay, but there are to many frivolous lawsuits. They than have to close down and the surrounding hospitals get over crowded.
