It is only insane if you think the purpose of the healthcare system is to provide healthcare. A lot of people make that mistake. The whole thing makes more sense when you realize the purpose of the healthcare system is to generate profits.
- paulgb 4y agoNo, because the entire purpose of grocery stores is also to make profits, and yet they price competitively and transparently. The problem is that healthcare has senselessly been given a long leash to price opaquely in a way that doesn’t allow price discovery to emerge.

- spaetzleesser 4y agoThe health care system has somehow figured how to get away with extremely predatory practices.
- scollet 4y ago> the entire purpose of grocery stores is also to make profits This isn't true though. It's in the name.
