Yes, Ebbie. One needs a different kind of a social system altogether, one where money is not the primary incentive. Such things have been discussed in books and on at least one TV show (Star Trek), but they have not been tried lately.

The primary incentive in a healthy society should be the work itself, and the satisfaction derived from doing an excellent job, and the respect and promotion that naturally accrues to those who DO do an excellent job. That was the principle of the society envisioned on Star Trek, and it IS possible to set up such a society, but not while those in charge of decision-making are tied to the love of money.

And as it says in the Bible "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil". Not money itself. The love of money. The love of money above all else. That is the root of social evil.

Are the drug companies as bad as bankers? Yes, they are. Maybe even worse, but that's hard to say. I have never in my life taken a flu shot, and I am none the worse so far for having made that decision. I suspect, in fact, that I am considerably healthier for having made that decision...although I'm sure there are those who would scoff at the notion.
