I'm a strong supporter of a universal health care system that focuses on health, nutrition and patient education.
Sadly, that's not the health care system described in the bill just passed by the U.S. House of Representatives over the weekend. That bill describes a sick-care monopoly that forces people to buy into a failed system of medicine that will only keep them diseased and bankrupt.
So I must oppose it.
Can't America do better? I think we can! (In fact, I have a new special report coming out this week that's loaded with ideas for saving America with nutrition...)
In the mean time, here's a cool idea: Let's disband Congress and unleash a Direct Democracy where We the People get to vote on the bills instead of leaving them to corrupt Congresspeople and evil corporate lobbyists! Read all about it here:
