framing American Health Care

This is a picture of all the people in support of this health care reform. This picture gives the idea that all these men wanting health care have some sort of stake in this reform and so they would somehow profit from this new health care. The Pharma, unsurers, politicians, business men, and hospital assitants all are laughing and enjoying their new wealth that is spread out all over the table. They take up most of the picture but if you look at the bottom corner, there are people drawn in really small asking "what about us?" Everything that was drawn has a suddle meaning like instead of writing hospital assistant on one man's sleeve, the artist wrote "hospital ass." and this could mean nothing, but since the artist behind this drawing is obviously not in favor of this reform, i would interpret that it has a more than one reason for being written like that. Also, the people are drawn so small to represent that it this reform is supposed to benifit them, but it seems to only be profiting the politicians and insurance workers and so on. This reform that is supposed to be centered on the people for the people, seems to only be good for the people it wasn't designed necessarily to help.
