I believe
anyone in the Healthcare profession, from slopping bedpans to inventing new hips, is entitled to make a profit from their work. Nothing wrong with that. I, for one, would be afriad of any medical care I got from an entire profession filled with people who weren't allowed to profit. Scary idea.

Too many drug firms are taking huge subsidies from the U.S. government (your taxes) to help defray the costs of developing treatments and cures for ailments, then they are gouging the very public that supported their research through exhorbitantly high prices to U.S. citizens that they do not charge citizens of other countries who contributed nothing to the cost of research and development.

I agree here. The ONLY money that should go from my pocket to the Healthcare industry should be the dollars I voluntarily fork over for treatment I chose to have. Nothing more. No subsidies, no taxes, no nothing. Pure commerce only.
