Most humans, not even Americans, agree on a lot of core issues that sound like either socialism or communism, but really could be achieved by regulating capitalism so it isn't so evil.
There are two types of people who become doctors: People who want to help folks and people who want to make a shit-ton of money. You can often tell which is which by what type of doctor they become. Family doctor? Internal Medicine? ER Doc? OB-GYN? Pediatrics? Geriatrics? They're in it to help people. Radiology? Plastic surgery? Anesthesiology? Ortho? They're in it for the money.
The only profit mongers in Healthcare are the corporate owners. For instance, Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) Owns about 460 hospitals. Now, I won't say which one, because I'm scared of their lawyers, but my partner worked at a hospital that was cutting costs so much, they stopped ordering surgical gloves and made the surgery team use deli gloves instead. (There is a HUGE difference between the two) Later that year, the same hospital was boasting about record profits.
Actually, their cardio team did, and they were one of the highest rated cardio teams in the nation. They all left together and got a job working at one of the competitors, however this is all pretty universal these days. I'm currently working at one of the top rated hospitals in the US and they're still pulling shit like this...

Can we please stop giving these morons a voice when they clearly have no interest in listening?

Yeah it's not like a couple hundred people on a really long flight could experience varying health complications.
Pshh. Get real!

Shame that's all you got from this, apparently.

Whoa whoa whoa, Ortho bros just like bones, saws, and human carpentry.

The irony of a Kennedy calling someone who helps people when they are hurt and sick, a profit monger...
Well it almost makes you wish for a jug of Kennedy moonshine so you could die painfully instead of from second hand embarrassment.

Also the lobbyists.
And the politicians they lobby.
And the owners of pill mill pharmacies.
And "doctors" that see several dozen people per day to take orders on a prescription pad.
But healthcare professionals that actually do the work? Give them grace.

The surgery teams walked out and dropped the official rating of the hospital, right?
