We don't have health care system; we have a sickness care system. We need to proactively create a healthy society, not merely treat symptoms so common in a sick one. Marianne2024.com

abolish pharmaceutical patents. they make it so that all the money is in drugs, and having people take those drugs for as long as possible. they also allow people like Martin Shkreli to price gouge b/c other companies aren't permitted to undercut them.

I caught a cold recently that lasted over a week. The only clinic that would see me sooner than 4 weeks cost over $300 out of pocket for the visit and prescription medicine to clear the infection. Of course I don’t have insurance, I can’t afford it. This country is ridiculous.
