Panexa: Ask Your Doctor For A Reason To Take It.
And here’s a great interview with Carrie McLaren — the brains behind the Panexa ad and Stay Free! magazine.
You know, honestly, the health care system in the United States is so egregiously f*cked up that it’s almost clichéd to mention it; but seriously, our health care system is so egregiously f*cked up, and I’m glad that some people still do mention it:
Take, for example, take your pick, say for example health care. Probably the major domestic problem for people. A large majority of the population is in favor of a national health care system of some kind. And that’s been true for a long time. But whenever that comes up — it’s occasionally mentioned in the press — it’s called politically impossible, or “lacking political support,” which is a way of saying that the insurance industry doesn’t want it, the pharmaceutical corporations don’t want it, and so on. Okay, so a large majority of the population wants it, but who cares about them? Well, Democrats are the same. Clinton came up with some cockamamie scheme which was so complicated you couldn’t figure it out, and it collapsed.
Kerry in the last election, the last debate in the election, October 28 I think it was, the debate was supposed to be on domestic issues. And the New York Times had a good report of it the next day. They pointed out, correctly, that Kerry never brought up any possible government involvement in the health system because it “lacks political support.” It’s their way of saying, and Kerry’s way of understanding, that political support means support from the wealthy and the powerful. Well, that doesn’t have to be what the Democrats are. You can imagine an opposition party that’s based on popular interests and concerns.
…I’d suggest we all move to Canada, but really, what has Canada ever accomplished.
