Bob, I work in health care and have mixed feelings about this. I've seen some pretty dreadful things done for the sake of profit. I would like to see a return to fee for service. I do not like it that my personal health care is tied to my employment through company-issued health insurance but, as is the case with most, this choice has been removed. WRT utility companies, I do not think socialization is ever an answer to anything, but neither do I think their responsibilities to their customers should be overridden by a desire to increase profits. I'm not sure there is an answer. I know that I do not have one. When profit is the driving force, ethics seem to be left behind. - Holly
