We all need to unite to battle big pharmacy and big insurance this is why?

Question

Hi I am 25 years old and recently I went to a doctor for 5 minutes for a checkup. I paid 125 dollars for him to check my bloodpressure. it takes a couple days of busting my behind to make that.. in all other major countries this visit would have been free. Why is our country doing this to us and making us go through insurance companies and paying top dollar for drugs that are worth pennies to make?. It is all about the money and what our country is doing to us. How do you feel about this and what do you feel would make a difference, These companies have dug their toes deep into our governent and we need a revolution to remove them. How do you think that we can succeed for the middle/ lower class. They make billions each year, and deny people treament for bigger profits. Lets do something , anything

Answer 1

Have you checked out the diaries on Murder By Spreadsheet on Daily Kos? They are full of details and of how you can work from your position to help make single-payer healthcare a reality in this country.

Answer 2

the countries where health care is 'free' really isn't. it's paid for by the lottery, funds go into health care.

I'm not so worried about your check up and blood pressure, you could had gone to a grocery store for that. at $6 an hr would it take a couple days to make that income, and if your employer offered health insurance, it wouldn't had cost that much.

the real problem is the zillions of kids who never go to the doctor when they have real problems, or the dentist.

Answer 3

I think you should have asked this question under the "health" category of Yahoo Answers. You could get better answers (if you mentioned the country) and a lot more answers.
