NHS Opened the Door

Submitted by Jersey, Jul 7, 2007 11:58

The health care disaster in the US is touching more and more American lives. Privatization is a catrastrophic failure - good only for the HMOs and insurance companies and private corporations that run many of our "for profit" hospitals. It's time for medical decisions to be between doctor and patient.

This article is part of the new corporate meme intent on scaring Americans into submissive silence. Don't let it sway you. Demand adequate health care for all. Give HMOs the boot!
