Is there any way to balance compassion and profit in medical care?

Filed under: medical care 

I know the most important thing in America is making a profit, but it's not right that everyone can't afford insurance for medical care. Things that are insured are usually material things that are valuable and expensive. It doesn't seem right that health care is on that list. Couldn't "they" have made it affordable? I mean we all work and are contributing. It just seems like "they" are picking and choosing who they want to live. You know, to keep undesireables out of an area, you just jack up the prices? Am I the only uninsured person out there that prays my health will keep up on its own?

Yes, it's called socialised medicine and it's not really a profitable venture, but it's certainly compassionate and IMHO it's the responsibility of government to look after it's citizens and proper health care tops the list. I don't think health care should be done for profit.

    3. What you are talking about is Darwinian Economics at it's finest. No one is picking the winenrs or losers; they pick themselves through the choices they make in life (although some are born with advantages, not every rich kid dies rich and not everybody born in a gutter dies there). As long as everyone has a shot to make it (notice I didn't say a fair shot; life ain't fair), I'm ok with it.
