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.
