Yes, because as someone who has worked in hospitals for years, the system needs overhauled so badly it's ridiculous. Many hospitals are bleeding money because equipment, staff, and medicine is so expensive... and this is even WITH the high prices they charge and understaffing. I'm talking a Top 100 Hospital only being able to afford to pay one person to cover making IVs for a 10 hour shift... for 400-500 patients. Many health care employees aren't even given health insurance because the hospitals simply can't afford it.

Emergency/severe health care simply doesn't work well as a private industry - people are too greedy and it's hurting everyone else involved. I worked in a hospital pharmacy for three years and saw how much even the hospital was being charged for the drugs we needed to dispense... it's ridiculous.
