      Who "profits off human suffering"? -Every doctor & nurse -Every cop & fireman -Every social worker & therapist -Everyone who makes live-saving medicines In short, anyone who's paid - even by Medicare/Medicaid! - to help people deal w/sickness, death, accidents, crime.https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1109821811988938752 …

      The question we face as a nation: Will we continue to allow private health insurance companies to profit off of human suffering? Or will we end that disgrace and make health care a right through Medicare for All?

      Wages aren’t profits.

      Net of expenses, they are - like profits, they are payment for value added.

      Nobody really conflates wages with profits. Profits accrue to business owners.

      Replying to @yeselson

      This is a false distinction. Consider doctors: often you pay a professional corporation that is wholly owned by the doc, for tax reasons. Is that in your view a completely different thing than paying the doctor directly for services?

      Replying to @baseballcrank @yeselson

      i think if there was a health care worker like a doctor who was in a position to increase prices at scale to increase his/her wages, and then said "ah, profit" Bernie Sanders probably would include that person in the group described by the tweet.

      Increasing prices when possible is what everyone in a market does, businesses & labor alike. If nurses strike for higher wages, they are increasing prices of their labor at scale via application of collective power. Bad?

      I mean this dynamic is... the point. If people felt like nurse wages being too high was at the heart of America's health care spending problems I am guessing you would hear more about it.

      "Felt" being the key word.

      Believed, understood, whatever? Not to say the industries are morally comparable but your logic suggests by criticizing tobacco execs for "profiting off human suffering" I should be admonished for attacking the guy at the 7-11?

      I think you see why that analogy is bad.
