the old restless leg syndrome .....
Ronit Ridberg has given the world a marvellous look into the fraudulent, Big Government-Big Pharma complex with his documentary film, Big Bucks, Big Pharma: Marketing Disease and Pushing Drugs. It's a bit dated, from 2006, but certainly, that is no hindrance to the message of the film. It's an hour long, but worth every minute of your time. Below, I have compiled a list of some interesting points from the film. I have also included a lot of my own thoughts from my research on issues brought up in the film, so not all of the material I have presented is contained within the documentary. Big Pharma is a monster that's long been out of control, and that is due to its chief enabler, big government, whose bureaucrats profit immensely from promoting Big Pharma's agenda to grow and protect its profits. In spite of what Michael Moore would say, this arrangement is not capitalism, or as he means it, the free market. It is state capitalism, or, as some may call it, socialist corporatism.

the envy of the world
"We have the greatest health care system in the world. Sure, it has flaws, but it saves lives in ways that other countries can only dream of. Abroad, people sit on waiting lists for months, so why should we squander billions of dollars to mess with a system that is the envy of the world? As Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama puts it, President Obama’s plans amount to “the first step in destroying the best health care system the world has ever known.”
That self-aggrandizing delusion may be the single greatest myth in the health care debate. In fact, America’s health care system is worse than Slov—er, oops, more on that later.
MEANWHILE:
The US House of Representatives has backed a healthcare bill in a step towards reforms promised by President Obama, despite strong opposition.
Passed in a narrow 220-215 vote, the bill aims to extend coverage to 36 million more Americans and provide affordable healthcare to 96%.
The bill now has to be reconciled with a separate Senate draft law.
President Obama has made reform of America's healthcare system a central plank of his domestic agenda.
He described Saturday's vote in the House as "historic", saying he was "absolutely confident" the Senate would also back it.
Correspondents say the legislation could lead to the biggest changes in American healthcare in decades.
