The question is can industry develop the cures without screwing people over at the same time.

the profit motive is what brought these innovations into existence. Obamacare will put an end to it.
Here's what worries me the most about Obamacare. Socialized medicine means the end of all new wonder drugs and miracle medical treatments. No more breakthroughs like artificial joints, MRI machines, artificial hearts, artificial livers, Leukemia cures, etc.. The profit motive is what brought these innovations into existence. Obamacare will put an end to it.

One of the hallmarks of socialism is its hostility toward and targeting for elimination of the bourgeoisiethe prosperous middle class, who pose an existential threat to the socialists/statists, in large part due to their relative economic autonomy. The fact that they are mostly capable of self-sufficiency and of running their own lives means they neither need nor want big-government central-planners micromanaging their every decision, and therefore the middle class must be decimated by the likes of Obamaeven while Obama and his Democrat fellow-travelers hypocritically, falsely speak of protecting the middle class, fighting for the middle class, and growing the middle class in their cynical ploy to get middle class people to vote for more doomed Democrat policies.
Fortunately, some of the biggest lies of Obama and his party have now been realized by millions to be what they areoutright lies.
What is yet unfortunate is that the socialists have still largely succeeded in convincing so many that it is the profit motive of capitalism which is to blame for the alleged awfulness of income inequality, and the alleged awfulness of various other disparate outcomes upon which envy and class-conflict are based, that they think it is a viable campaign strategy for the upcoming mid-term elections.
And so, it is the same old badmouthing and attempt to eliminate the profit motive, which Obama and his fellow travelers have deployed in their destruction of our health care systemthe abject economic horror known as Obamacare.
Yet that same profit motive is what has given modern medicine and pharmacology such marvelous breakthroughs over the last several decades, which is and has been in Obamas cross hairs all along.
Socialized medicine regimes only barely limp along in other Western, developed economies such as Canada, Sweden, and Great Britain, with just enough marginally-satisfied customers to keep their populations from revolt (not to mention that numerous dead and dying recipients of inferior medical care delivery really cant make much of a political peep, can they now?) only because the profit motive has still been somewhat alive in America in order to drive the innovations enjoyed by patients in the more socialist countriescountries which ride along on the coattails of our advances and revolutionary medical developments!
It is mainly due to the existence of the remnants of capitalism, and the research, development, and marketing activities of extremely competitive, profit-seeking enterprises (mostly here in the United States and wherever making a profit is still allowed), which have produced the miracle drugs and the space-age, mind-boggling medical technologies enjoyed by citizens throughout not only the developed world, but increasingly throughout the emerging economies and the third-world, even more and more.
Oddly, medical advances come out of places like France, Sweden and Germany all the time...and they all have single fucking payer. Bullshit premise.
Today I learned that adding more people on to private insurance plans is now considered socialized medicine.
So did the meaning of socialism change over the weekend and I didn't get an email about it?

Actually you left out the government mandated/forcing to buy private insurance via a government controlled web site.
Then again most of the far left Obama drones don't much beyond the far left programing anyways.
I would, but the government confiscated that 10 percent.P.S.

Really? Do you think those who support breast cancer (or any kind of cancer cure for that matter) are motivated by greed?
I personally think (and maybe it's me being a Pollyanna), that those who are on the cutting edges of medical science are there because they want to better understand, or help their fellow human beings.
However.....................those who are motivated by greed are easy to see. How much does Cialis or Viagra do for humankind?

Ok.....and? Which part of that is socialism? Governments make laws. You are aware of that right? Just because you don't like a law, doesn't make it "socialism".
I know the answer to this already, but do you know what socialism means?
The issue is the obscene profit motive limits the universal application of the benefit

And you just showed that the far left propaganda in you is to strong to be broken with facts.
This may help you:
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy.[1] "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these.[2] There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them.[3] They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.[4]
