I think we will continue to have problems with the cost of drugs, and the amount of adequetly (key word) insured people as long as health care is for profit. Do you guys wonder why health insurance companies support universal health care? they will make money off of it, and they are providing funds to the candidates that will make it happen. Think about it, they are making money off of peoples HEALTH!!!
My Question: Do you really guys think that we will ever have a working health care system on all levels of income and class as long as it's for profit?
My Second question: Are there any downsides to not-for-profit health coverage? What are they?

No just like a for profit fire department or police wouldn't work. The free market can be good for a lot of things but is not the best solution for things that benefit society as a whole. Good health care is in the interest of everyone.
I truly believe there are no downsides to not for profit health coverage.

The thing with competition is that when something breaks, other things come along to fix it. We don't need to give up our freedom and try to force a system that is drastically different than any other administered within our country. The private sector will overcome its own weaknesses given time, and it won't wreck our government in the process.

Clearly our Congress doesn't think so...since they have Universal Health Care...as do our Veterans through the Veterans Administration.
Pretty sweet deal if you can get it.
