beyond that...the republicans don't want insurance more heavily regulated, that's your whole platform, "leave the billionaires alone!"





I just had to smile because it's sounds so absurd to defend corporations that made money off of dead 35 year olds.

Let me add my condolences for the tragic passing of your friend. Nothing like that should happen in our great nation.

Thus the story does not support the claim "US Has Highest Cancer Survival Rates in the World".
