Just think, if we eliminate prohibition it will save our government far more money than they need to fix someones teeth. Why are we fixing their teeth anyway? Maybe some tooth pain will make them quit screwing up their health.

Our drug companies are out of control and have been for years. They're out of control because they have too much influence in Washington, playing kingmaker with PAC's, campaign contributions and favor trading. Basically they tell the people who are supposed to keep a lid on their abuses what laws to enact.

Our sick and elderly pay the price.
I'm with you on this. The old and the sick DO pay the price. And I think the drug companies and the insurance companies conspire together to make this happen. I really hate that. They not only influence Washington through PACs and campaign contributions and lobbyists; they also directly affect health care providers and hospitals and clinics, too. I find it unbelievable how unashamedly pharmas court physicians and how much payola-like influence insurance companies exert, too.
