I, as a christian, have a fundamental problem with for-profit heath care. And so should anybody else who calls themselves christian. Most of the Republican party are selling their souls in the name of partisanship and capitalism. Profit gets in the way of actually doing whats best for the patient. My grandfather who lived through the great depression used to tell me,"there are two things that should not be for profit, commodities and health/human services". Too bad they understood that after the fact.
Government doesn't have to run health care IF a privatized, non-profit company wants to step up. Non-profit doesn't mean nobody gets paid. They still make salaries, hell, even the CEO could pay himself 2 million a year. Key difference being no shareholders and no big bonus checks. Therefore, there is no profit to sell out humanity for. Takes the greed factor right out of health care. If no company wants to step up, then I have no problem with government giving the poor and sick a OPTION. And that's what it is, an option, not a takeover. Conservatives can spin it all they want. We're not stupid!
