Two trillion dollars for wars in the last ten years and we can't afford decent health care for all Americans. North Korea may be a far more extreme scenario but the sentiment remains the same. Priorities on death and destruction, not on the health and well being of its citizens.

And it also looks like you don't have a delivery system either. I cry for you. Maybe you ought to try a free democracy, for a change.

That might even work. My advice, do not give corps too much power.
