It's not the health care workers. It's the insurance companies (my local hosptial publishes it's books, and they pay something like forty cents on the dollar that comes in the door to the insurance people) and the bean counters.

And the pharms are just greedy *censored*. Think about it- which makes more money, a drug that cures an illness that gets taken once, or a drug that reduces the effects of the illness that has to be taken for life?
