36. I'm always so sad to hear these stories.

I must say that I didn't really expect better of our corporate-friendly government. Health care is about 18% of GDP, which means that you're bucking a whole hell of a lot of money when you try to make changes they don't want. Everywhere you see people being wrung by the corporations for every bit of juice in them, the greed of the rich more obvious every day. They have no need to even hide it any more. There was a time when we had liberal and progressive politicians who would fight for us, but no more. We are on our own, and the sooner we realize it, the better.
