I agree that huge markups in healthcare are not ethical. But where do we draw the line there? Who determines what is an acceptable amount of profit? And do we apply that to all businesses or just healthcare?
Doctors and nurses are just a tiny percentage of where money goes in healthcare.
And you can't force businesses or healthcare workers to accept what you believe is a reasonable profit. The only reason most people work in areas like pharmaceuticals and hospital equipment manufacturing and supply is because of those huge profits. You cut their profits and they're going to go somewhere else to make their money. So our healthcare system still collapses.
I'm not on the side of for-profit healthcare. Or advocating for people in the medical industry making huge profits. I'm also not advocating for socialized healthcare. I'm just trying to point out the realities of the business.
