There are far more infected than ones dead from it. Just in '06 there was close to 60k. Start dding those numbers up over the years, and the fact that each year brings an increase in new infections, and you can see the pressing problem. THat's also where your vote comes in. Make your politicians know what you want, plain and simple. Same with cancer of course, there are FAR more people suffering from different types of cancer. The whole point is, government can get shit done with YOUR money by taxing you. Business will just bleed everyone of their monies, steal your home, food, everything, just for that one cure. No thank you, keep necessities with the government (I come from an ex-Communist country, so I have no love for government, I just trust businesses and people a HELL of a lot less than government).

 

Your living in a dream word my friend. I don't even know why you are arguing this point with me. History has overwhelmingly poven my point. We have had rich countries of all types for the last 100 years.

Name one drug that any government discovered? Better yet, name one drug that a company for profit didn't discover.

We have a track record world wide of drug discoveries that probably look something like Private Industry: 50,000 - Government: 0.

Why would you then want to back the overwhelming underdog with peoples lives?

 

Uhhh... Ever hear of Penicillin. It was discovered By good ol' Flemming in a St. Mary's in London. Paid by government etc. etc. Now you come up with a drug as influential as Penicillin that came out of business.

Also, for a bunch of fucking losers who let government do the work for them, those damn Europeans seem to be getting a hell of a lot better healthcare than the people in the US. How DARE they get better healthcare than the capitalistic, private one in the US!!!!
