We're the only first-world country without universal health care. Cuba has more comprehensive care. No more Pharma subsidies. No more Pharma advertising for prescription drugs, Why should we pay for their advertising? Don't ask your doctor, he/she already knows... I will sponsor legislation making it illegal to advertise for prescription drugs. We need an end to subsidies and an end to Pharma companies using taxpayer funded research to produce their exclusive and patented drugs. Our government must be allowed to bid on prescriptions. We must prosecute theft, over billing and fraud by our medical ‘insurance‘ companies. Let’s get into stress reduction which is purportedly responsible for over 50% of our dis-ease. The Federal government must stop prosecuting those who provide Medicinal Marijuana to sick people. Let us buy drugs from out of country, where they are cheaper. I’d rather have drugs of slightly inferior quality than no drugs at all. According to Newsweek, side effects from prescription drugs are now the 4th leading cause of death in the United States. Research suggests that 80 cents of every dollar spent on health care pays for private health insurance, profits, paperwork, and bureaucracy. We could save $350 Billion by eliminating the profit motive and moving to a single payer Universal health care system. It costs Medicare 3% for administration costs, yet private insurance eats up 30%. We must take the profit out of medical care. We need health care, not health insurance. Time to eliminate the un-necessary and very expensive middle-man.
