The real reason our health care is SO screwed up isn't what we all think- Its completely different! [View all]

The real reason is rooted in FREE TRADE IDEOLOGY and BAD TRADE DEALS- and a 1995 WTO Trade Deal called GATS in particular.

Its the gift that keeps on giving, all around the world, in a big way.. Its screwed up health care, its privatizing education, water and housing, its dergulated finances and repealed Glass-Steagall Act- and then a few years later, because of that its arguably responsible for the 2008 financial crisis..

NOW, its stripping Indians - ( its already stripped us all, just for them its getting discussed, because they were told, not like us, also, its many years later, so its viewable on the web) - GATS is being used to strip them of their constitutional right to education.

WTF?
