Why can't most all health and medical related services and industries related to direct-care simply be required to be Non-Profit entities?
It seems to me that if an advanced society wants to have an overarching "altruistic" premise that all its citizens need to have even-handed access to medical care, then--by definition--that is a little dose of Socialism. Li'l bit.
So, if we accept that this small dose of Socialism within American Capitalistic society is for the greater good of all, then the Wall Street profit motive must be removed from the equation. Completely cut out. Because to put forth a health care system that is not based on worker-output, but rather treats unforeseen health conditions, is wholly incompatible with the "ruthlessness" of Capitalism (which is simply do or die. Literally).
I'm not saying that practitioners and medical goods makers shouldn't make a good living nor a profit; they should. I'm saying that the distorted, built-in profit-motive of Publicly-listed health care companies needs to be surgically removed from Wall Street's uncaring ways, if American government is going to force all its citizens to buy a private product. Sooooo, therefore, simply designate everything connected directly and tangentially with health care as being Non-profit pursuits, and perhaps health care costs can return to homeostatis.
