73. I am not against profit (And I suspect you are not either)

Edited on Sun Dec-20-09 06:01 PM by truedelphi

Obscene profit is what I am against.

If a good doctor makes a decent living off his patients, that is fine with me.

But if a CEO at a HMO is making an amount equivalent to the sum of the salaries of 3,300 employees at a hospital inside that system, a hospital wherein people and the hospital itself are struggling to survive because the HMO does not give it enough money, then something is wrong.

How that something will ever be fixed under the current system, I do not know.
