[CitizensTruth] Do we really want universal health care?

[I.D. Fresas]

This is a straw man approach to make Universal Health Care unappealing by 
linking one to the other and of course we do not want product on the market 
that is potentially life threatening.

It is the FDA that needs to be reformed!

We need to get the Drug companies and medical device manufacturers out of 
the FDA.
