our drugs are better then yours...

while eating breakfast this morning i opened up the Guardian website to get an update on the latest UK and world news, and i almost choked on my cereal when i read this article. and we wonder why no one likes us around the world. it just so american to assume our way of doing things is best. nevermind the fact that millions of us don't have healthcare, and the rest of us that do are paying thousands of dollars a year for it. yes, taxes are lower here, but when you add in the cost of healthcare, which is free in the UK, i know i'm going home with a lot less money. and don't even get me started with the drug advertising. i am sure endless commercials for viagra and zoloft is just what millions of brits would love to see during their commercial break especially when they are already paying $50 a month just to be able to watch the 5 channels offered. i say mr blair sends an NHS rep over here to lecture our government about the importance of nationalized healthcare and accessibility for all. and don't forget to throw in a few words about how wrong it is to advertise drugs on television like they are the newest cereal :) a little rydalin for breakfast anyone?
