Summary:
|
"In 1994, Common Courage Press published a book that decided the fact that 35 million people went without health insurance...Bleeding the Patient: The Consequences of Corporate Health Care reveals that today the number stands at 44 million -- and growing at 1 million a year. Most Americans would prefer a national health program like Canada's, one that not only costs less than ours does, but insures everyone. Why, in a democracy, isn't this an option? Where is the choice? There is none when a multimillion-dollar industry promotes managed competition, keeping information from the public and spreading lies about the Canadian system" --
