Do you really believe that health care reform will change the fundamentals of the medical industry even is some type of increased access and affordable insurance rates are the eventual best possible outcome? If you answered yes you might reconsider your answer. If no, what is the likely scenario. Today the medical/health/pharmaceutical industrial complex comprises the largest interdependent group of profit generating businesses in the world. Probably 20% of the world's GDP, or over 20 trillion dollars are generated by this complex annually.
The profits generated probably exceed those produced from the military-industrial complex that is probably the second largest profit producer. On one side are the purveyors of the Hippocratic Oath and their hypocritical profit gatherers, and on the other side is the war group and their adherents to blood money. The sum total of the Hippocratic and Hypocritical money suckers is the simple reason that the result of any health care reform will be largely insignificant. The only way to eliminate the greedy profit-motivated health and war industries money making ambitions is to eliminate all profit incentives in both complexes. Funnel all proceeds from both industrial complexes into activities for human benefits and eliminate all profits. Limit the pay of all executives to a maximum of 10 times the average workers pay. Eliminate all world military personnel and use the funds for expenditures to achieve world peace and improved living standards for all peoples.
My you say such idealistic bunk will never become reality. You are probably correct. But, the option will be more of the same. Remember the Roman and Ottoman Empires once ruled the world and both empires collapsed. Why? Read some historical accounts and see how greed destroys the greediest and often the innocent onlookers who are swept into the morass.
