You are right about the profit motive in health care. There are too many negative externalities. We hope that selfless professionalism super cedes insidious profit motives but increasingly this isn't the case. Doctors getting kickbacks to prescribe drugs or fake research are on the rise.
Similarly for education. The for profit schools get their money on the backs of the poor and those who shouldn't be in college. Obviously they don't get all of their money from such people but a large portion of it comes from these people. The profit motive in education is a bad one and should be avoided.
