Capitalism is evil. When other people do it anyways. CEO's that make buisness their lives for years and years and eventually get into a position where they're single handedly responsible for keeping an entire corporation afloat, who's responsible for the well being of each and every employee as well as customer....and actually getting rewarded for it? Eeh-vil. Beyond evil, Greedy. You who work 40 hours a week so you can afford 300 channels of television, laptop computers, air condition, nice houses, private vehicles....That's well, it's certainly not capitalism. That's just you scraping by. Anyone who doesn't believe healthcare should be motivated by capitalism is a hypocrite, or at least the majority. I'm assuming because you're posting on this forum that you're in the nursing field, and that you were blessed with the education, the skills, and the knowhow to make a difference in the world. You're perfectly able to take capitalism out of your own practice, lower your standard of living to those of priests in the middle ages, and devote your volunteering and promoting the existence of free medical facilities. There's no shortage of those who believe as you do, so it shouldn't be difficult to recruit medical professionals of all specialties to your cause.
But of course, thats not what you mean at all. What you really believe is that you should still recieve your ample wages for your 40 hours a week so you can afford the luxuries you've become accustomed to, but others should be condemned for the same actions.
