This is why Exxon and other polluters has been funding anti health care reform. They know that a non corrupt medical industry would levy all the evidence people need to make them clean up, control polluting, and help the people they have hurt so bad. But Exxon and the Elite won last night empowering the medical health care industry more than before, if that's even possible. They can turn us in now if we don't pay.

Every single health care company has a major polluters on their board and behind the scenes. Why , because these major polluters are killing us and the medical health care industry covers their tracks. It's always been like that. Before they could just throw you out of health care insurance if you get too sick to pay thus avoiding any nasty documentation of toxic poisoning which the health care industry doesn't document or acknowledge anyway.

these companies will do whatever than can to make an extra penny. there is no value to life in big business. this one of a thousand stories that make us all stop and think what is the cost of our consumption, our demand for cheap goos, or idea that we should live better than others simply because we live in america.

Wrong. This makes me think how corrupt our government is, to allow polluting our entire planet, for the dollars that they line their pockets with, from lobbyist. Corporations will never be responsible. Our elected government officials are there to keep them in check. Our elected government officials have sold us out, and are now on the side of the corporations. There is no money in protecting people or our planet, only in the destruction of both.
