Reasonable profits are fine, but in many cases in our country it amounts to price gouging. The entire industry - health care, insurance, perscription drugs, and malpractice, is in dire need of reform.

Health care is one area where pure supply and demand is not sufficient, because the demand is a constant. Someone facing death will pay, regardless the price. In the past, professional integrity kept costs fair, but those are foreign words in this age. Controlling the insane malpractice suits, and putting in place cost ceilings would be a good start. Drug costs, care for illegals, and the insurance system are also a real joke.

Edit: Moore is a socialist loonie, and I don't even begin to agree with him. But the system is out of control.
