For-Profit Health Care Is An American Sickness


"If we had applied our current profit-driven mentality to the search for a cure for polio, we wouldn't have successful vaccines today.  Instead, we'd have iron lungs in seven designer colors, complete with free Wi-Fi and a variety of iPhone apps."

-- Elizabeth Rosenthal, author of  "An American Sickness"

Her point:  In our system today, lifetime treatment is always more profitable than discovering a cure.
