Some people hold a lot of hope in this election hoping for better health care. I don't feel like I can breathe when pharmaceutical companies that produce mass marketing of psychiatric drugs for adults and children have such heavy prominence in the background. Hell, they aren't even in the background.

Pharma money on display at 2008 Democratic convention.-Fierce Pharma
"The list of health-oriented sponsors reads like a roll call of drugmakers: Merck, Amgen, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Mylan, Abbott and Eli Lilly. Five of those companies--Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Lilly, Amgen and Merck--have put CEO power behind their cash. AstraZeneca and Lilly dispatched their CEOs--David Brennan (photo) and John Lechleiter (photo), respectively--to receptions and luncheons the companies sponsored. Pfizer's Jeff Kindler (photo) and Amgen's Kevin Sharer (photo) participated in a health roundtable. And at a PhRMA-sponsored brunch, Merck CEO Richard Clark (photo) and AstraZeneca's Brennan mingled with the invitation-only crowd. [(Seroquel).]
And tonight, when Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination, Pfizer folks will be on hand in coveted sky box seats reserved for those donors who've given more than $1 million. Let's see who turns up for John McCain's Republican star turn next week."
