Right and that is getting off the rails. I know providing healthcare isn’t free so consuming it isn’t free either. But when a public need becomes a profit-seeking venture, I start getting skeptical that this is the best way to ensure efficient use of resources.
can only bill government certain amount for certain visits.
How are they making a profit seeking business when they can only bill insurance, WCB, or the the public health care system a certain amount for each visit. There is some uninsured things, but they don’t charge unreasonable amounts, people would go elsewhere. It keeps everyone honest in that regard. And they only charge since they can’t bill anyone else and it costs them time and money.
Have you ever… like… had a conversation before?
I can’t read your fucking mind. I explained my point of view and you explained yours and corrected how I’d read something different than you intended. edit: The doctors I see are all part of a larger, profit-seeking business. I have not seen these non-profit doctors outside of Doctors Without Borders and such.
What part of that means you need to be a prick about things? If you suggest medicine should be non-profit then we are in agreement and there is no need to be an asshole. That’s not at all how I read your first message, so excuse the fuck out of me for trying to have a conversation on a fucking message board.
You can’t read my mind, yet you picked a definition that doesn’t exist? And tried using it as your argument? That’s not how people have conversations dude.
I’m sorry you are using your US based logic for a global conversation, not every place it out there to rip you off. I had already explained how they can only bill X amount, so how can you profit from that? Please explain YOUR perspective on this one, please.
I provided Mariam’s definitions which didn’t include anything related to profit, why would you assume the term is “for profit”? Where have you seen that before? Not for profit business is a phrase everyone should know….
I’m sorry you got called out for assuming during a “discussion”, now if you want to prove you wanted to have a discussion instead of crying/whining/trolling, please provide where you’ve seen this and we can clear up this confusion.
Because I’ve explained my point in every comment, yet you’re still arguing this irrelevant detail.
Bro did you really say “Is this seriously what you think conversing is”?
You can’t have a single conversation on here without becoming argumentative as hell, and you even usually escalate to a completely uncalled for and nonsensical degree.

You called it a business. Which I read as “profit-seeking endeavor”. Perhaps you intended it differently.
Not for profits are also businesses… your assumptions are your bias… and ignorance.
Edit Actually, which definition are you even using here…?
No definition has “profit” in it that I can see
My intention is the definition of the word, what is YOUR intention here dude?

Business is a profit seeking endeavor is a definition that doesn’t exist? Fuck off… I can’t take anything else you say seriously.
