Lessen Greed To Make Universal Care Possible

Universal, affordable health care for all Americans is incredibly simple to develop.

Simply remove greed from all involved entities.

* Caregivers do not need unreal profits – these are professionals, hospitals, pharmaceutical industries. In other words, all areas of care giving.

Remove malpractice fears and all above could perform more economically.

* Legal professionals need not make profits on questionable lawsuits. Malpractice amounts could be made reasonable.
* Pharmaceutical industries could become more honest and realistic in providing medications with less profit for themselves.
* Congress could become more concerned about people and act for the people, rather than for themselves, their party, special interest groups, lobbyists and so forth!

All above groups would feel financial pain if the greed were removed, but all could remain comfortably viable.

And all the people of the nation could have health care, probably at far less cost than presently exists!

Could this occur? Greed be removed? Only if all entities bought into the concept. History does not support the idea of abolishment of greed.

This should be a challenge to the government, entire health industry, the legal profession, pharmaceutical industry, everyone!
