Worse than car mechanics. We need transparency and oversight of the medical industry.

We NEED to remove 'profit' from healthcare, until these robbers arent gotten rid of, these deaths and exploitation will continue....

Fuck that, your solution is worse than the problem. The VA is absolute fucking garbage. Without a profit motive no one would do anything. Doctors aren't in it for the pats on the back. All we need to do is make sure they aren't scamming the system and actually work for their money.

the profit motive would work great for health care if there was transparent pricing and ample competition.

Starting in 2021 all hospitals will be required to post their prices online. However, this may create just as much if not more confusion. I have done reporting/analyses on hospitals charges and even for someone who "understands" them it can be very confusing. It really isn't the hospitals fault on the complexity of it all either. It is more due to the government/insurance companies forcing them to certain standards which is a good thing and not a bad thing.

Nonprofits still pay their employees. It's not like just because the business doesn't make a profit that suddenly all of its employees aren't paid. That's not how it works. The idea that removing profit from the healthcare industry equates to not paying anyone is a strawman at best, and dishonest at worst.

And the VA is garbage because it's managed by the government. The free market wouldn't do a good job either, though. It should be a government-funded, veteran-owned cooperative. We need populist solutions, not capitalist or socialist ones.

your solution is worse

The VA has accountability right now? lmao nibba.

Doctors aren't in it for the pats on the back.

SO VA doctors are volunteers? Cool story bro.
