    Want to know the real history of why our healthcare system is jacked now? Suprises around every corner. Is it the greedy insurance companies with their thin vaudevillian mustaches? Or is it growing public health issues? Maybe it's the 300lb 9 month old man-wolf baby on the cover of National Enquirer!! Or could it be (dun dun dun) that government, with great intentions only rivaled by even greater stupidity, decided to stick their dirty lil noses into the mix?!?!!?

    Tune in to find out the truth:
