I think we should also look at the cost of services provided -- you know, like aspirin for $10 a pill.

In a hospital setting the real cost to send one aspirin to one patient will approach $10 in real cost. I get your point however.

Long term when we take the profit out of medicine there will be fewer to render services I expect so that will reduce healthcare costs even more.

Bottom line costs need to be cut. I just do not like it when it becomes me that suffers from the action to cut cost. :)

Take out profit? No one would provide service. No incentive. Research stops. No reward. There has to be profit to draw more providers, not less. Fewer providers, fewer people can get service. Who will work for no pay? Hospitals stop being built. Collapse is next. Private, profitable business is necessary for a strong system. Jobs, growth, prosperity for anyone willing to work for it.
