"so you agree that profit driven medicine may be bad for the health of america"

no, profit driven medicine in a free market would be very good for the health of america. but we have nothing resembling a free market in medicine. the laws have been written in favor of insurance companies. we have old men and women working as greeters in walmart because they need health insurance. if they didn't have medical bills they would be doing ok financially. i think it's all a symptom of government interference in the market place.

before auto insurance became mandatory the insurance companies argued that if everyone were forced by law to carry insurance everyone's insurance costs would be reduced resulting in lower premiums. well, when the law was passed my insurance almost tripled in a year.

insurance companies hire lobbyists to get laws written in their favor. then we all have to pay them for it and they funnel a percentage back to the crooks in washington. then everyone but the consumer is happy.

outlaw insurance and health care would again become affordable.
