Well its good to see this thread heating up a bit.......

G- Thanks for summarizing some of my points in half the time...

Well you do know that when you start talking about cutting/limiting profits to a "reasonable percentage" that people start socialism or worse. Of course most of these people are in some way associated with the status quo but they drape themselves in the flag and talk of the founding fathers but I digress.....

I guess it comes down to whether something as basic to our survival such as healthcare should be subject to the same market forces that determine the type of refrigerator or other common object that is bought in the marketplace. If someone was lying on the operating table just before that emergency surgery procedure the doctor leaned over and said "Now let's talk price" most people would be appalled. But how much profit would you consider "reasonable" at that point?
