because it's no competition, it's a monopoly...and we Americans don't give a fuck, and the GWBush administration did not care either...it's competition to monopolize. Thankfully Obama is trying to rectify the situation but he is up against powerful greedy interests. Health care should not be for profit because a business that directly handles LIFE/SURVIVAL should not be based on profit.  The incentive would be there to screw people when they are most vulnerable.
