Sicko and Google

It seems they turned off the ability to send emails about this post by Lauren Turner, so I will start a blog just to voice my anger over this, and even more so for having been shut down by google when I tried to send in a comment through the page link asking for comments.....

So, to you Lauren and the rest of google, this is how I feel.

I can understand how you need to kowtow to the insurance industry since they apparently buy advertising space from google but to paint them as the victims in this whole thing is absurd, no one should be making profit off of healthcare, it is unethical to even have a mechanism in place such as insurance companies who survive and are solely there to make money, they are not a charity, they are there for money and they make that money by giving the least amount of service they can and charging the most amount of money they can for those minuscule services.

The money you want them to give you for advertising would be better spent on patients and their needed care.

People are denied care solely on the cost of providing that care, not on any altruistic motives, it's all about money and greed, it is crippling the business's of this country, they have to pay huge sums for insurance for their workers, if we had a single payer system like the best countries in this world have then we wouldn't have this burden on the businesses, the people would ALL have heathcare and it would cost us much less as a country to provide it, and no profit would be made by a third party middleman.

I never thought I would see the day that google pandered to the likes of people who kill for profit.
