I recently read of a new pill that can literally cure Hepatitis C. But....the pills are $1,000 each, and a person would need many of them, making the cost prohibitive to insurance companies.
So you have a big pharma company who developed the very expensive pill; And hospitals who can give the very expensive pill; And insurance companies who may have to pay for the pill. And insurance companies don't wanna pay for it.
If they don't spend the money to cure the patients Hepatitis C, that patient will likely continue on & infect others driving profits up further for the healthcare industry. They hate curing people & love treating more sick people. Regulation is required to lower cost & make this country competitive.
uh nowhere makes drugs like us.....so yes I think it works. Take the profit out of it, then instead of expensive drugs you get no drugs.
So you want the govt to make drugs? the govt sucks at everything they do. And I don't want them making decisions on which drugs are made.
In what country other than the United States are block-buster drugs developed and marketed?
We are light-years ahead of all other nations in the healthcare industry (knowledge, technology, facilities, and breakthroughs) simply because we are (or were) a for-profit industry.
When there is no profit involved, you get Cuba (liberal paradise of poverty and misery). When there is major profit to be made, you get America (conservative paradise of prosperity).
Healthcare should not be a PROFIT driven field
Yes it should.
Ok. Just to put it bluntly: The ability to save a human life, or vastly improve their life, should NOT be one that is driven by profit.
Whats the answer? Im not sure. People have to get paid for their work, yes. But the HUGE profits being raked in by the pharma companies, hospitals, doctors, etc, at the expense of what?

Just one of many countless examples of how we humans COULD save or help someone.....but, is it profitable? The profit seems to matter more than the end result lately, and it is a bunch of nonsense.
The pure greed of this nation's population is what will destroy us. Not some cavemen in the Middle East.
All businesses exist for ONE REASON and ONE REASON ONLY..... PROFIT. If there is no profit to be made in something, nobody with any modicrum of intelligence goes into business doing it. Medicine/Health Care is the exact same way. That's not a Democrat or Republican thing, that's a COMMON SENSE thing.
As soon as people on the Left begin to comprehend that, and the idea that nothing happens if there is no profit in it, things will begin to turn around. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that day.

Yep. And THAT is why healthcare should not be run by BUSINESS.
If patient A has cancer
And patient B has cancer
And patient A is rich
And patient B is not
Which patient is a doctor most likely to spend time saving?
Helping and saving fellow man should NOT be a decision driven by profit. Your savior, Jesus Christ, would not want us behaving like this towards each other. Would Jesus heal a man based on how much gold he could receive in return?
It's called capitalism. If you don't like it, move to Russia or China, and send me a post card. If they allow it...

It's hilarious how none of them can answer how the system is supposed to work if not for profits.
Someone made a great point earlier that none of them will touch - we all need food more than we need healthcare. Does that mean food should "not be a PROFIT driven field"?
We are literally living Atlas Shrugged with these buffoons...
Novartis moved their research to the US.In what country other than the United States are block-buster drugs developed and marketed?
Switzerland (Roche and Novartis)
UK (GloxoSmithKline and Astrazeneca)
France (Sanofi)
Germany (Bayer Healthcare)
And these are in the top 10 or so of Drug producing companies in the world. There are plenty more.

Let me see, would I rather work for a rich man or someone that couldn't pay his bills. Hmmmm, I'll have to ponder that for a few years on a mountain top.Yep. And THAT is why healthcare should not be run by BUSINESS.

Jesus would also not want you to take from your fellow man what does not belong to you.
Do you know what he would want you to do [MENTION=22689]bucs90[/MENTION]? He would want you to pay for the cancer treatment of patient B.
So that's the question you and SeaWytch refuse to answer (for obvious reasons - the question exposes you guys as heartless hypocrites). Why don't you pay the healthcare costs for your fellow man? Or why won't you open a hospital that provides free or low-cost healthcare? Or why won't you launch an insurance company and provide free or low-cost policies to those less privileged? Or why won't you become a doctor and provide free or low-cost policies to those less privileged?
See, that is the beauty of America and the free market. You are free to solve any problem yourself. So why do you want to force other people to solve it for you through communism?

Yep, you should work for free but they want to be well compensated themselves. Apparently, whether they provide something useful or not.Let me see, would I rather work for a rich man or someone that couldn't pay his bills.
