Reply #16: Few people in America would call BANNING PROFIT a mark of private enterprise [View All]

You want to propose that for healthcare -that's great. That's what CIVILIZED COUNTRIES DO. Welcome to the fight. Off the top of my head, though, I can think of two major political parties in America that would scream "Socialism!", and "Fascism!", and "Communism!" at you - and all at the same time.

"Certain restrictions!" Yes, if the middleman is under the certain restriction that he can skim no profit off disease, death, and injury, his presence is tolerable to me. I strongly suspect though that such terms would not be tolerable to him - nor to his hirelings in the White House and the Congress.

Until the Democrats are on the verge of passing a bill calling for all basic essential care (which is 70% to 80% of the overall health market) for all citizens to be provided at ZERO profit to a MIDDLEMAN, I don't want to hear any more lying bullshitters talking about Switzerland.

Especially lying bullshitters who don't even mention the NON-PROFIT aspect of the Swiss system.
