Maybe Greed Isn’t So Good

So right after writing about how greed and capitalism may be good I sat down and watched Sicko, Michael Moore’s new documentary about the health care system in the US. It turns out greed may have ruined the US health care and pharmaceutical industry so maybe it’s not so good. Or maybe it’s only good when applied to things consumers actually have a choice about instead of having to pay $60000 to get fingers put back on. The saddest part is that while socialist health care probably would work well it’s such a huge uphill battle in America since the health care and pharmaceutical companies are so well entrenched and like your money so much.

Sometimes I think perhaps lobbyists are the problem.

Just a thought. (OMG social commentary from me! I’ll try to keep it to a minimum as I hate politics but I am voting Colbert)
