that protects intelectual property

and does not set price controls

how is Obamacare btw?

It's gross

I'm actually asking

If they make a lot of money because they overprice every procedure, they sure will have more money to invest in research

how are prices set?

Obamacare is bad because the compromises made it bad for everyone involved

It more or less forced you to buy healthcare whether you like it or not

You either buy or get fined a shit ton

same in Canada

Idk tbh, but I imagine it's not a fair price

Is it?

And did it make the healthcare better?

It's exactly the same

didn't premiums shoot up?

Imagine my shock

There is no such thing as a price being fair

only supply and demand

Now....

The goal is to heal the citizens or to have profit?

BOTH

^

return on investment requires both

But, what's more important?

@Fulcrum010 are you.. a commie?

@obrallaghan
Really?

well?

Based on what you say that?

"The goal is to heal the citizens or to have profit?"

do it for the greater good?

Destroy a business by having it unable to operate or make money?

<:think_cartoon:378717098618388491>

Because when the subject is public Healthcare I put the health of the population over profit?

because people are motivated by their own self interest

Not saying it shouldn't have a profit

a doctor doesn't bail on a 12 hour operation because $$ like it or not

But, If it's possible to lower the profits to decrease the price and make it more accessible, why not?

Isn't it in your own self interest that when you get sick, you want to be able to get better without suffering financially?

I don't think anyone would argue that

but if it's supply and demand, and everyone requires healthcare, then prices should never skyrocket
