****Of course not. Itīs our own fault...in this mad rush to make ever greater amounts of money...weīve turned everything into a money making proposition. Education is about money...and certainly medicine is.
If you donīt pay...what will they do...reposses the organ? Well they would if it was worth it to them.
We have the resources to care for every Lina...you know damn well we do because if every Lina was rich...there would be enough facilities for them. In the end, we have actually made Life itself a question of hard cash. And we will be paying the price for a long, long time to come.
Lenin was right....the Capitalist will supply the rope for his own hanging...if he can make a buck from the transaction.
