the pharmaceutical companies generate massive profits and often provide poor recovery. 3/4 of the ppl needing medical care are due to life style choices.
Actually so far its 1.2 trillion ! So that would be BILLIONS a year.
Consider the costs...
* $4,681 per household.
* $1,721 per person.
* $341.4 million per day.
Taxpayers in the United States will pay $137.6 billion for the cost of the Iraq War in FY 2007. For the same amount of money, the following could have been provided:
1,070,377 Affordable Housing Units
AND the medical costs (mental and physical) for Iraq veterans "Long-Term Price of Providing Veterans Medical Care Could Reach $660 Billion" as well, the "violence carry over" into the U.S. population is horrendous.
(yet we are around number 14 in the world),
myopic vision destroys understanding
Solutions:
-Pull out of Iraq .
-Create a transparent government.
-Have the Bush administration tried for war crimes and "big oil" brought into the whole situation.
-Provide China and India with more voting power in the U.N. (after all they have the greatest population in the world, and you're for democracy, right?)
-Create a transparent world government, lead by intelligent people (leaders ested for adaptablity, compassion, etc.)
