   This is true, but it is only a very small part of the overall problem.   
      
   =====================================   
      
   Nice rebuttal.  Typical.  We're supposed to take THAT at face value?  That   
   statement makes little sense.  Certainly addresses nothing.   
      
   But I will agree in this way.  The "for profit" aspect of the health care   
   machine IS probably the biggest culprit.  For profit hospitals...big   
   pharma...insurance behemoths...even wealthy overpaid doctors have a HUGE   
   hand in the problem too.  When exactly DID wealth overtake doing good as a   
   reason to practice medicine?
