Unfortunately, good feelings don't pay off student loans, and Med school costs alot of money.
I see no reason you can't make money and do good at the same time..
Granted you have companies that screw over their clients (insurance companies etc using loopholes to avoid payouts ala New Orleans comes to mind)
And those companies should be out of business, but profit doesn't automatically equate to wrongdoing.

I didn't say that people shouldn't be able to receive compensation for their work, I said that I have an ethical problem with the idea that saving lives is all about profit.
And for the record, I would much rather have a society in which there was no money at all. Although I probably shouldn't be saying that here, since I doubt it will go over well with most of you. :P

we all pay already. My folks have been spending 25 K PER YEAR FOR 10 YEARS on their health care, my mom just died of cancer after only battling it for three months, and now were are about 60,000 in debt because of it. America has the 37 ranked health care in the world. and we pay more per capita than any other country in the world.
So to be as nice as I can to all you people who can never admit that America is anything but NUMBER 1 at something. **** You! You know nothing, nor do you care to, you are all a bunch of self reinforcing ignoramuses. And you can also lick my *****.

oh, and paul don't you realize that you really admire the realpolitik of your avatar. You and him would probably get along great, probably be best friends if you had a beer with him.

My mother died of cancer a few years ago as well, so I have an understanding of your pain.
Would your mother still be with us if BarryCare was available?
No, she would not, as your family (probably) makes too much money.
In fact, she probably would've died sooner.
The only thing different is that your family and not mine has to bear the financial burden of her care.
How ironic, as it's you calling for more gov't control/involvement in our lives.

Please cite your figures. Cause I call BS.
I think you'll find that most of the people that respond in this forum are quite intelligent. You may disagree, but again, this has little to do with ones intelligence.
