Answer, because of the corporate, and medical lobbying going on in Washington.
Anyway we're all screwed anyway you look at it. Now about this Floyd guy.....

You jsut revealed the issue. In capitalism, we allow people to get certified and practice medicine privatly. They control their own costs. Most people can't afford these costs so they get insurance. Insurance will try to find any way it can to hsoe you out of the care you need. THis is crazy because why the hell do you want to pay insurance and then have no guarantee that you will be taken care of. THen bring in the drug companies whose primary cost is devolping medicine and then charge ungodly amounts of money for pills that cost nickels and dimes to produce. Literally NICKELS AND DIMES. SO the only problem with capitalism is greed. It's a great government in theory, but greed screws it all up.
