In the 60s a lot of health care was non profit. We have seen a shift over the past 30-40 years from a system where much of it was non profit to a system where profits drives the whole thing. I agree with you that when it comes to health care in the US we have the worst case scenario. Costs spiraling up and lowering standards of care. The profit motive adds in a built in conflict of interest. On the one side is the best care for the patient, and on the other side is the desire to keep costs down so profits will be higher.
