It is pretty widely agreed that in 15 years or less the healthcare system we have (for profit) will bankrupt the country. The alternative is to just let everyone who can't pay die.

I would call that a "disaster".

I did say that no profit motive would be hard, and suggested a fixed regulated profit of 10% to 15%. Almost any company would be happy to have a guaranteed 15% profit with a guaranteed customer base of 300 million.

I expect more people would be interested than you think.
