The fact that there are Americans in here attacking the idea of universal healthcare shows exactly how brainwashed the country is. Is it a coincidence that pretty much every American is on some form of medication? It's a big scam, of my entire office, virtually no one is on any kind of medication except birth control; but when an American comes in, it's always some kind of cocktail of anti-anxiety, adhd, depression, some kind of endocrine correcting meds, and painkillers -- do you guys as a country realize this isn't normal?

Have you ever streamed US TV before? There are TONS of commercials for medications that I am pretty sure would be illegal in most of the developed world. You really can't mix this kind of neoliberal economy with the medical industry and expect it to work.

Totally agree with everything you said.  There is  only one other country besides the US where it is legal to show prescription medication ads on TV.  Unless you absolutely need them to survive you shouldn't take any prescription medications.  Also there are a ton of prescription medications where the side effects end up being worse then the aliment they supposedly treat.
