Related: About this forumHillarycare - was it a cover up of a trade deal that made real affordable health care impossible?
Was Hillarycare a diversion to prevent discussion about the 1994 WTO Services Agreement - which tries to take over the world for insurance and drug companies and make virtually all public healthcare that is known to work FTA-illegal - unless its both completely free and has been free, no money involved, since the 1990s?
Similar issues with lack of disclosure to Americans exist for the 1990s trade deal's hijacking of public education and all other public services.
"any service in any sector except services supplied in the exercise of governmental authority;"
"'a service supplied in the exercise of governmental authority' means any service which is supplied neither on a commercial basis, nor in competition with one or more service suppliers."
"'a service supplied in the exercise of governmental authority' means any service which is supplied neither on a commercial basis, nor in competition with one or more service suppliers."
A key issue is explained here. The lack of any real discussion indicates that some kind of suppression of this all important - problem must be occurring.
Messages on blogs on this subject are being suppressed (deleted, hidden?) too. People need to realize the sheer magnitude of the deception - which is global in scope.
This is a much bigger issue than any other I can think of because a lot of people have died because of lack of health care when solutions were easy to implement, would cost no more and are in plain sight.

This explans the over broad scope of the trade deals 'mandate' to privatize almost everything:
