I voted you up. What you say is disturbing and true. American medicine treats the symptoms and intentionally strings people along rather than cure the underlying cause. There is no profit in curing cancer -- only in the treatments. I'm convinced of this after having a few people I dearly loved die in the American medical system. We need more of a system whereby our taxes are used solely for the good of the people -- to improve our lives. It's sad, really. As much money as the US has, we could have the highest standard of living on the planet, but we're nowhere near that because of greed on the parts of tax-dodging corporations, greedy capitalists, and a whole host of other reasons.
