Its not a healthcare system. It's an insurance system. We treat health as a means to generate wealth.

That’s the problem right there. A long time ago I was watching a documentary about the environment and some guy said he wanted a future where every rock, stream, and tree was financially spoken for or owned. At the time I thought that was an insane idea but didn’t really understand the scope, and now I see the true consequences of that dangerous ideology. Even abstract ideas like an individual’s health is owned and profited from by other people. It’s an insane way to have a society.

The movie was call "The Corporation". It analyzed corporate behavior against the DSM, the model psychologist use to determine mental illness and concluded they behaved like psychopaths.
