HIDDEN CURE.Cancer ...
HIDDEN CURE.Cancer is a deficiency disease caused by a lack of nitrilosides in the modern western diet just like scurvy is a deficiency of vitamin C. Big Pharma/FDA profiteers have covered up the cure and have declared it fraud and quackery for over 60 years.Watch WORLD WITHOUT CANCER YouTube? documentary and investigate these facts.Thousands have been cured just by adding this essential compond to their diet without the self destructive and devastating drugs, chemo and radiation.Choose life.

Hey genius, did you ...
Hey genius, did you watch the video? The drugs are RARE because it's not profitable to make, they're not profitable because the hospitals PURPOSELY buy non generic versions so they get the maximum amount of? money repaid from the government. If the government didn't repay them money, this situation wouldn't exist, the generic brands would be still in business and there wouldn't be anyone marking up anything, because there would be no short of SUPPLY. DERP.

@buugiman78 "This ...
@buugiman78 "This has NOTHING to do with the government." On the contrary, here's how I see it: 1.? Hospitals get to charge the government for drugs. 2. Hospitals no longer care about cost cutting so they buy only the expensive drugs (not generic) to make money from the government. 3. Pharmaceutical companies no longer make generics since no one buys them. 4. Generic drugs are in short supply since no one makes them any more, which then of course leads to price gouging.

Maybe. Have a look at the World Health? Organization's website.

Jew & USS Liberty : The Jewish Lobby has no control over the US Military & we will take revenge? on what the Jew/Israeli did to to USS Liberty in 1967. 34 US Navymen were slaughtered & their bodies will not? rest in peace until there is revenge against Jew.

Greed!!! How many ...
Greed!!! How many politicians own stock in Pharma??? If I was to take a guess, Id say at least? 90%!

I know parents? ...
I know parents? with severy disabled sick kids that refused jobs in the USA, for one reason, HEALTH-CARE!!! When it comes to Health-care, Canada blows the USA out of the water. "Patients admitted to hospitals waited on average six hours in emergency rooms. Nearly 400,000 patients waited 24 hours or more." Thats the USA!

"we are 37th in the ...
"we are 37th in the world" With all the recent cuts this year for the poor, elderly and disabled,? I would bet we have dropped even further.

How much profit is ...
How much profit is too much profit? In capitalism there is no such amount, or limit. This is why healthcare does not belong in the private sector. Take the profit motive out of healthcare. You will still have plenty of caring professionals. You just won't have the profiteers. Of course, now we have the problem? of wresting the system from the profiteers.

EVERYTHING is ...
EVERYTHING is business people except it or do something about it but don't argue and complain on YouTube and go back to your life. If? you aren't gonna do anything about it then stfu

Hey I can hear the ...
Hey I can hear the background? noise of whatever tv was on while you were filming. You looking for an intern sound engineer?

public safety, like ...
public safety, like police and fire protection, has been removed from private profiteers and for good reasons. the life and safety of individuals shouldn't be at the mercy of profits. Look up the history of fire depts that's why we need national healthcare. it will screw pharmaceuticals and insurance company but who cares? they don't give a damn about anything but? profits. and prisoners, military ppl (at least for now) and the senate and congress get free healthcare for life! what the hell??

The only way you ...
The only way you could say something like that is if you have literally spent? no time researching it. Do me a favor, go to google search "pub med" go to the .gov website then on that site search "cannabinoid cancer" and you can read the medical literature for yourself. Pay special attention to words like apoptosis (cancer cells committing suicide). After reading several scientific studies search youtube for "Run From the Cure". Then get angry at the injustice.

American ...
American politicians must be a bunch of sociopaths I swear... How could they possibly allow this? to there own countrymen and women....

They REALLY ...
They REALLY butchered this story. First of all the drugs were stopped by FDA regulation for having minor defects, not for being unprofitable as you yourself admit they can be sold for 4000% profit. Pharmacies that still carry the drug and selling them to hospitals at marked up prices (kind of like a scalper). Hospitals are not selling it up at marked up prices, they are buying it at? marked up prices. its essentially ticket scalping but with medicine(tickets) and pharmacies(scalpers).

unregulation @ its ...
unregulation @ its best ?

Cannabis WAS ...
Cannabis WAS marketed by pharmaceutical companies, it was? regulated as a narcotic under the law. Besides, both patents and the illegality of marijuana are anti-free market so I don't know why you hate libertarians.

There? is ...
There? is absolutely no evidence that cannabis cures cancer, only gives some of the same treatments you people keep saying are deliberately done to avoid the cure. 'Big Pharma" used to sell Cannabis in medication before the government classified it as schedule I drug.

@MrJeggus Those ...
@MrJeggus Those drugs DO cure the common cold. The only way to truly fight a virus is for your immune system to attack it. These drugs allow you to rest for that to? happen.

so you didn't go ...
so you didn't go look up Nash Equilibrium, figures. I'll sum it up for you, you can make far more money being the? only company with a cure than you can simply being another one with a treatment, hence they will always strive for a cure. Our healthcare system was ranked #1 in responsiveness to patient care, that measures quality. Everything else just measured how healthy citizens are, not the hospitals. And it was 4% of GDP in the 60's when it was a free market.

Capitalism doesn't ...
Capitalism doesn't work at all, it relies on? constant exponential growth... we exist on a planet with limited resources.

Cures?? LOLOLOL, ya right!?
