| Message | First of all, it is disturbing that your primary concern is that the rich get better health care than the poor. Quite a radical bit of meanspirtedness there, eh? Secondly, however, you think that said rich should not have any guarantee of a safe or sanitary environment for their medical care, since you want to get rid of safety standards in medical clinics. So in other words, instead of all Kalistanis to have access to affordable, quality health care, you want the rich to have better access to dangerous and sub-standard care than the poor. And of course, in a further puppy-kicking move, you decide to gouge Kalistanis on their prescription drugs. How does this benefit anyone except your rich cronies in the pharmaceutical industry? |
