Pushing drugs !!


For years, drug companies (pharmaceuticals AKA Big Pharma) have been taking the public for a costly ride and making a killing in the process -- seriously, a lot of people are dying as a result.

In this documentary, find out how Big Pharma's clever politics and marketing schemes are tailored specifically to empty out our bank accounts and force us to sell-off our homes if need be, for drugs that would otherwise cost a few pesos elsewhere in the world.

But it doesn't stop there:

With so much profit potential glistening in their eyes, these companies have little incentive to provide cures.

Rather, they recycle old drugs, modifying them ever so slightly (often resulting in deadly cocktails), for the single purpose of acquiring new patents.

Thus, renewing their monopoly over pricing.

But that's only the beginning - Watch it and see fotr yourself :

Who Killed HealthCare?


According to information released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on June 24, 2007, about 43.6 million people in the United States, or 14.8 percent of the population, had no health insurance in 2006.

The finding, based on a survey of 100,000 people, is lower than previous federal estimates of 46 million. The estimate is based on those who did not have insurance at the time of the interview. About 54.5 million people in the country, or 18.6 percent of the population, had no insurance for at least part of 2006.

Whatever the exact numbers, there is obviously a very serious problem with health care provision in the U.S. In fact, dozens.
