Heath care should never be for-profit. Might sound radical to some here, but i feel that here in the US, our energy & heath care should be nationalized & single payer, ie taxes pay for it vs out of pocket. Imagine paying for your energy use via the national tax pool & same with health care? There are some drawbacks to this kind of layout obviously, however i feel the main problems with these industries would be better addressed and with more accountability.
