    If the FDA, FTC, USDA, EPA, Depts of Transportation, and CDC wanted to guarantee and check their work, we’d have universal healthcare. And in fact I think that’s exactly the legal argument for why the government should be FORCED to provide us healthcare - how else would we be able to catch (and class action sue for) large community-wide health hazards such as:

    -asbestos in baby powder

    -lead and heavy metals in vitamins and supplements

    -consistency of dosing in medications

    -Deaths from auto accidents when we should be having trains

    -Deaths from contaminated eggs, meat, milk from bird flu or other pathogens

    -Products that are blatant lies/false

    -Companies leaking chemicals into water supplies

    -Lead in water supply

    -Heavy metals in water supply& in crops, from exhaust from cars and bits of tires

    -imminent looming climate change

    Gee, I wonder why corporations are scared of us getting healthcare?
