The healthcare sector in the market took a big hit when the talk of Medicare for All started his spring. How did we, as Americans, allow the “something for nothing” stock market into the healthcare for all of us? The only profit required in medical care should be strictly for education, maintenance, development and employment of top notch medical personnel.

Someone sitting on their sofa making money off the medical issues of fellow citizens is revolting to me. There are plenty of other “something for nothing “ stocks in which to invest.

Medical healthcare should not be a public stock ever.
"For profit" companies competing for business brings the cost of everything down, not up. This applies to all products and services, not just health care. Remember the 800 dollar hammer that the Government bought? Today, you can buy one at Walmart for less than 4 dollars.
