Why many Americans believe in medical conspiracy theories...

The premise of this article -- that Americans believe in conspiracy theories because we're too stupid to comprehend complex medical information -- is dead wrong. Americans believe in conspiracy theories because the people funding the research / controlling the information (the government, big pharma, etc.) cannot be trusted. Not to mention that the truth is much stranger than fiction.

With the current state of healthcare there is good reason to be suspect especially with the government involvement.
Look at thier record running some other agencies...postal...IRS...NSA etc., enough to be a healthrisk.

Exactly. I don't blame people one bit for believing in conspiracy theories, with all the crooks and liars involved in it.

It's just a mess and has been for a long time.  I heard the other day on one of the news channels that beginning 2015 Obamacare will DRASTICALLY increase.

There saying that people who signed up for Obamacare rates will double or triple in some cases beginning next year.

They didn't get enough people to sign up for Obamacare so this is why the rates will increase.

Just another program from the government that will cost tax payers millions.

We need to elect politicians that will run under the promise that they will be covered under the same exact medical care as the rest of us, NOT exempt like they passed..
