As I've said. I'm not "defending" our current model. It needs to be fixed. But, we need to do it without socializing it. Socializing it might make it better. But, not as good as it would be as if we aligned profit and healthcare motives.

Well no that's a very common thing I find: people don't want the gov't doing something but somehow are OK with a private company... doing that same thing.

Never understood that.

How does one align profit and health care motives? Health care is about ensuring fat smokers with hereditary diseases continue to live. The only way to profit off that is to charge more than what you pay. The only way to make that sustainable is to have downward pressure on costs. Thing is, there is no downward pressure without either insurance companies or government making it so. Insurers only make money by charging more than what they pay to a sufficiently large number of people. So once again, the profit motive and the health care motive are opposed to one another.

Prof is just trying to preserve his job. Nothing more, nothing less.
