Healthcare Isn't The Issue |
|
Nothing is going to change in this country until we get control over lobbyists. The insurance companies spent over $200M defeating any attempt for real change in the healthcare system.
We all know that people in government are going to listen to those with the big bucks. We as the unwashed masses have little or no say in the direction our country takes. Obama's first big fight with powerful lobbyists failed miserably.
When are we going to do something about having our voices heard and not those who happen to have all the money???
