This is the result we are seeing now. Nobody wants to fix the issue because then you wouldn't have the issue to berate the other side. It's better to campaign and raise money with that issue than to actually solve the issue.

Point of view I guess. I'm suggesting the politicians don't want to fix anything.

You seem to be implying that private companies--BigPharma--are more interested in keeping conditions chronic with medication than curing people.

They seem equally shit in my book
