Healthcare is rationed now by companies who want to make, and are making, the Maximum Profit.  They will not allow anything to come between them and their 30% profit margin.  It is "blood money" in the truest sense when we decide not to insure our poorest citizens and leave out many of the children who are necessary to our future.  A government plan could potentially be much less expensive because it could be truly "non-profit."  The moral issues speak for themselves!
