And yet I continue to go untreated thanks to the profit motive...

  So? Money is a representation of human effort. Nobody wants to work for free or invest for 0% gain. Is there a reason you think the price should be lower? (remember people working need money too)

    If you had studied economics, you would know that profit and income are fundamentally different concepts. The existence of profit (rather than breaking even) implies a market failure.

      I think you're confusing "profits" with "rents".
