Profits shouldn't be factor in coverage

It would appear that a decision on how health care should be provided will be based on facts, lies, half-truths and myriad disinformation. It has been particularly interesting to watch Rep. Joe Wilson and others in their continual efforts to keep their constituents from sharing in the same government supported health care they and their families enjoy.

One has to wonder whether some are looking out for the well-being of their constituents or the interests of some profit-focused health care insurance companies.

By the way, I wonder if anyone can recall exactly when providing health care to Americans became a Wall Street profit center? When did the focus of health care change from curing diseases and healing injuries to making a profit?
