  1. No, we need profits for investors. Now be a good American consumer and go make the owners of the means of production some money. [🚨 MPW Stock: Short Sellers Double Down – What’s Next for Investors?](https://youtu.be/50Y-Bhk1DbU)

  2. Capitalist economy is based on for-profit production.

    You can’t have *actual* non-profit healthcare if economy is owned by private proprietors.

  3. Hahahahaha “customer desire”. You can see long lines in hospitals everyday. People desiring to be sick so they can rejoice in healthcare services.
    My friends an I even have Doctor’s Tuesdays, we really appreciate a nice doctor visit in the afternoon, every week.

    Man… the fact that you really think Healthcare is just another market oriented service gets to show how fucked we are. That’s indeed an absolutely victory for Capitalism. Reducing healthcare to some piece of meat you can equally enjoy “well-done” or “rare” as you wish… We are just doomed

  4. Americans, their governments, and businesses with operations in the US pay at least 2.5-3 times per person what their counterparts in other rich/developed countries pay for healthcare. Healthcare is what’s bankrupting the US: citizens, governments and businesses operating in the US. And the average quality of care is lower than in many of those countries.

    This must end. So long as the the quality is care doesn’t fall further behind, cost must drop, and drop dramatically.

    I don’t, and don’t think anyone should care too much about how, just that it happens. And that leads me to my conflict: I prefer free markets, and capitalism’s success is undeniable, but NO ONE has presented a successful free market mechanism for healthcare. Whereas efficient and effective public systems are everywhere.

    Unless the US wants to continue down the past 40 year path toward bankruptcy and inferior healthcare outcomes, the system must change.

    By the way: the federal government has no bigger cost, not by far, than healthcare: Medicare, Medicaid, VA, active service, ACA, Fed employees, contractors employees, etc. There is no, none, zero, zip way to significantly reduce government spending without lowering services provided than getting healthcare costs in line with other rich nations.

  5. The misconception is non-profits don’t profit. They can just pay their CEO millions so the company doesn’t show giant surpluses. They are the same way as private, but no taxes and just has the idea of morale and public good to keep contributions/donations. Even year end profits get invested in the stock markets for endowments too.

    The only one that isn’t run as a capitalism model is the government because we can just magically just raise the debt ceiling lol.

    Even with high healthcare cost people are still unhealthy. You got a large portion of the population like this and everyone pays for these choices. The fear of medical bills doesn’t scare a lot of people, but frightens the shit out of me.

  6. Most people do not think about a simple fact why healthcare cannot be business. When you ask your customer: life or money, this is not fair deal, this is robbery. In US idiocracy you pay more than half a trillion USD for healthcare bureaucracy. And that are only money for insurance companies. If we add bureaucracy in hospitals and overpaid doctors – many are millionaires, you get the bill. You do not pay for care or health, you pay for executive bonuses, paperwork, excel spreadsheets, office meetings and etc. And if we add to the bill opioid crisis, the genocide against people with gender dysphoria – they are treated with chemical and surgical castration and sterilization, even kids, for money, and many other atrocities, the things become terrifying.
