Look at the recent break through in leukemia treatment it was basically financed by an individual. Big pharama would not finance it because they did not see a big profit in it.

There are far too many profit points in the way our current health care system is structured. Health care will drive the country into bankruptcy.
Totally agree, Free. Instead of embracing the fact that our present healthcare system cannot be sustained and using the experience of the rest of the world in terms of services/cost ratio we seem to think that healthcare is simply another avenue to get profit and revenue. In fact one of the last left in the nation of greed. At some point it will happen because at this rate more and more people will simply drop out of our profit based system and use government services anyway.

Not only does it put our employers at a disadvantage with the rest of the world but we are simply pricing healthcare out of the grasp of working people. I really do believe that most people are "fed up" with the greedy capitalists in the US.
