    Because we need congressional action to make it legal, and to make the current system of profiteering off healthcare illegal.

    I would love to be a part of those discussions and fully intend to continue doing so ;)

      It is already legal. You can start your own company tomorrow and make it a non-profit. So why haven’t you done it?

        Because even that is too much overhead. Non-profits don’t profit because they have to spend every penny they have left over on operating expenses.

        Just pay it from our taxes, like the countries with working Healthcare that Rob mentioned in the post. Clearly he has recognized that’s doable, and a surplus wouldn’t be a violation, it would be a surplus for the next year.

          That isn’t how other countries do phrama. They just negotiate the prices. They don’t do their own R&D, Marketing, or manufacturing, as you are suggesting. They just negotiate pricing.
