- jasonlotito 1y agoExactly. Glad you agree it shouldn't be for profit, either.
- pastor_williams 1y agoI have no problem with it being for profit. The issue is the alignment of interests and the thumb on the scales by government and vested interests. If health insurance worked like car insurance I think we'd be in a better state.
- kbelder 1y agoI wish health care worked like veterinary care. Except, now, veterinary care is becoming more like human health care, and it sucks.
- nocoiner 1y agoVets are really the most amazing doctors and I hate to see what is happening to their industry. Hopefully in exchange for dealing with the bullshit of human health care, at least maybe the money is getting a little better for them (a lot of them are just criminally underpaid).
- jasonlotito 1y ago> I have no problem with it being for profit. That's not what your quote says. Quite the opposite. > The issue is the alignment of interests Exactly. Which is why I think we should be guided by the constitution and not greed.
