"for profit healthcare" is insane, as is any "necessity/utility", for so many reasons
20 years from now at current trends NO ordinary American will be able to afford healthcare!
and that's not Obama's fault, it's the entire system's fault (he's part of it least some folks are trying though it's pointless in long term): corrupt, money and war driven to insane levels.
Free market capitalism only works for luxuries and to some extents for resources and services. Beyond that it becomes a horror.
Why cure when you can have someone hooked on your insulin forever....etc?
The health insurance and pharma corps are mass murdering monsters. UnumProvident rewarded employees who defrauded customers out of their health insurance, leading to their deaths, what happens? nothing! company "
promises to change be better!" does it squat!
see how corporations and banks supporting terrorism, assassins, drug cartels, chemical dumping, water pollution etc all get carte blanche, they have "hunting licences" and can kill as many US/UK citizens as they can pay campaign contributions for!
UNUM set up with UK's department of work & pensions, thanks ot Tory government and are now putting folk like me to slow death.
Capitalism can NEVER work in large scale just like Socialism can never work in large scale, because greed and ego, monopoly, price fixing, corruption, control freakery and arrogance etc always drive things to horror.
Anyone who thinks the entire world banking system was brought down because some black Americans bought houses they couldn't afford...has completely missed the plot.
People in groups *suck ass!* Psychology, experience and history prove this time and again.
The constant attack/cover up/lies against ME, Gulf War Syndrome, Fibro etc are proof of all these issues.
Insurance companies started the attacks/denials against us to save money,
~government welfare systems got on board for same reason and they hate to do ANY work as change is anathema to any bureacracy (new stuff gets buried);
~government involved in cover up because they know or merely just fear possibility that adverse vaccine reactions, pesticides etc may cause these illnesses,
~and political parties and persons are corrupt, campaign contributions from pharma/chem companies or leaving office to go work for companies they set contracts up for.
as for euthanasia, US insane puritanism and desire for another "war" to fight: drugs, lead to US banning the use of heroin as a painkiller, and then FORCED that on many other countries, so, kids dying of cancer around the globe were/are forced to suffer
and the irony is the painkillers the US system allowed are far more expensive, far more lethal and addictive.
Because the US system is nuts, run by profit, politicians who haven't a clue or are on the take, and health insurance companies who make Scrooge look like Jesus
healthcare is NOT a luxury item you have it or suffer and die, allowing folk to make profit off that is insane and rings inevitable woes
note, making a LIVING and making a profit are two very different things.
And no, as we've shown many times, the pharma corps do not spend much of their money on research, mostly goes on enormous system of bribes, advertising and self aggrandizement for the CEOs
now we've dealt with that, can we get back on topic?
