Hillary Care gone wild

Now who's fooling who? I believe the crisis with the flue vaccines (if it can really be called that), has more to do with Hillary Care then anything President Bush, or Kerry have done. The single thing we got from Hillary care back in 93/4 was reduced cost flue vaccines for everyone. Ever since then we have had a problem with supply. Never use to be a problem, the US used to have an adequate supply of vaccine, now we have to import it from two countries Britain and France. There the only companies willing to create the vaccine for the amount of money the American Government is willing to pay, and they are willing to chance the law suits if something goes wrong. Kind of makes you wonder just what the doctors are putting into our collective veins doesn't it. If you want an example of a single payer health care system (not that the VA isn't already a good example) take a look at the flue vaccine problem. The government guarantees a vaccine and now nobody can get one. The doctors ration it to the ones who they say need it most, before 1993 anyone could get it if they wanted. Makes you think or it should.

Take a look at this link if your interested.
