One thing I do agree with liberals on is the profit factor has to be taken out of healthcare, I don’t know how you would do that though. I’m self employed and Obamacare pretty much destroyed my health insurance, I can’t afford that insanity and if I ever got cancer or some other serious disease, I’m screwed. Without question the rich in this country get better treatment to the point of being ridiculous. I think of all the celebrities, the rich who were hard core drug addicts, alcoholics who needed liver transplants and got them seemingly in an instant. David Crosby, hard core crack addict gets one, Steve Jobs gets one even though he also had cancer, John Phillips of the Mama and Papas rock group in the 1960s, hardcore heroin and cocaine addict and an alcoholic, he once said he did heroin every 15 minutes for 2 years, he needed a liver transplant, gets one immediately then a month later they caught him at a bar doing shots “breaking in the new liver” as he put it. It makes me wonder how many kids have died because they were passed over for someone who had money.

You cant, part of the profit factor covers lawsuits, lawyers and insurance coverage for the workers and hospitals. Other part covers salaries for staff. Other part covers ever increasing regulation and compliance issues.

The places that manage all this better keep the costs lower than other places do.
