Absolutely. 95% of the decisions made in the legislative branches of our government are made on choices of greed and profit. Several of our Congressmen upon retirement, have continued their employment on the Board of Directors of Medical and Pharmaceutical companies. And at the end of the day, the only way to keep greed out of the roles of US policies concerning healthcare is to ensure that these for-profit companies do not take a hit in their pocket if Healthcare is socialized. Also we need to take strides in limiting the amount of damages one can seek in Malpracice suits to keep policy premiums down and also to offer much mor significant tax breaks to organizations that offer health insruance contribitions to their employees. These organizarions are downsizing primarily because of their benefit costs unlike blu collar organizations who can continue to employee hourly wage employees by reducingthem to a part time status to avoid this obligatory costs. We have to remember that individulas will take less pay for better benefits so let us find some middle ground here. I can go on but I think I bored you enough.

Plain and simple:
The ONLY reason so many people in America are allowed to suffer and die rather than receive paliative or even life-saving care is...MONEY.
If I can save your life without impacting my wallet, I MIGHT think about it. If it looks like it might cost me a few bucks, screw you. Die already.
If you need life-saving treatment or an operation that is going to cost a small fortune, go ask your church to pay for it. If they can't cover it, go on TV and beg for donations from the general public. If that doesn't work, I guess you're out of luck.
I'm willing to literally blow Trillions of tax dollars on a war against people who didn't even attack us, I'll even spend billions more helping Wall Street, the banks, and Big Business protect themselves from a few common sense regulations that would keep them from screwing you out of the little bit of money you DO have left, but if you need some help staying healthy so you can continue to work and keep your entire family off the welfare rolls, too bad, Buddy. I'd rather pay for their welfare after you die. It makes more fiscal sense. Through Medicare, food stamps, WIC and AFDC, we'll pay for the need of every child you have, NO LIMITS, until they are 18, but there is no way in Hell we are going to spring for birth control pills. That just wouldn't make any fiscal sense, would it?
The whole mess is a perverted joke.
