As far as health care not being a business, why do you say that?

What if I say that farming shouldn't be a business because it is essential to life. Without food, we will all die.

What if I say home construction should not be a business either because without shelter we will more than likely die or need extreme amounts of health care.

Health care is a business, plain and simple. Why shouldn't doctors get paid. Why shouldn't researchers get paid? If you don't pay these people for what they do, and pay them well, who will want to go into these fields? How would health care turn out then? Would there be any more developments in drugs or new procedures? We need the brightest and most dedicated people in the health care field and we need to pay them well. My brother in-law is about to start medical school. He got a 1500 on his SAT's and he has only gotten A's in school. He actually got accepted to medical school a year early on an accelerated program and he will also be pursuing his masters in chemistry so that he can opt to do research when he gets out. He will probably spend 10 years in higher education institutions. Meanwhile, my brother, an auto body painter, has been making $100,000 a year since he was 19. So far, he has made $1.5 Million. I guess it is only fair for him to make this kind of money to paint cars working 5 days a week from 9 to 5. My other brother makes $130,000 to manage the body shop, but he at least works longer hours. Again, America's priorities are all screwed up, not to mention their view on things.

Don't even get me started about my clients that are driving $50,000+ cars but not contributing to their retirement accounts. Don't get me started about my clients that are making $150,000+ a year buy they are crying to me that they are broke.
