I think a decent number of them are non-economic statements, particularly the motives for doctors, insurance, and interests. >The system is for profit by choice, it is under our control as society to guarantee that list or not, and we have chosen not to. The system is for profit by choice, because most people care about themselves. It would very hard to make your doctor care more about your life than theirs, or care about your kids more than their kids. You can institute harsh criminal penalties for doctors like some suggest in this thread, but even then, they are still putting themselves first. Im not sure I'm "denying" any choice. Im just stating how it is. I have no doubt the world would be different if people chose different - which is a tautological claim.
