Are Our Politicians Unaware Of The Healthcare Crisis?

The problem of healthcare is universal but in Nigeria politicians take the mickey. I just read in todays news that our president, Umaru Yar'Adua flew out if the country yesterday for something as simple as breathlessness. I mean these politicians are willing to fly out following the slightest of symptoms. Surely they are fully aware of the crisis yet no one is willing to take any action. It's like they are saying screw the common Nigerian, as long as I can afford healthcare abroad for myself and my family I don't care. We have serious problems in Nigeria, and I wonder when we will get to a stage whereby the topic of discussion is so so and so politician called the other one "bitter". God help us.
