Very detailed article over at NakedCapitalism today.

The above article has links to the "Guardian" article as it first appeared.
Remember the ACA only helps people have insurance. It doesn't address for even one moment the awful reality that this nation really has no one but a bought-out Food and Drug industry doing drug "oversight." The FDA"s minimal oversight regarding the products that their main benefactor, the Big Pharmaceutical companies helps companies profit at the expense of Americans health.
