An organization 'provides' a 'required service' that, if not taken, promises harm and suffering. The organization charges whatever it wants and makes all the money it wants, without actually benefiting anyone proactively. It causes great, and sometimes lethal, harm to individuals, the economy, and society, at the expense of its own gain. It funds and controls many actions of the government, therefore rendering its actions virtually legal on all counts.
Sound like the mafia? Think again.

if not limited by anything else, which there are such as the media and whatnot, it will always be limited by the laws of economics. even a pure monopoly with absolute powers cannot do anything it wants. it must follow the laws of supply and demand. even life and death has a supply and demand curve. their goal is to make the most money as they can, not to harm the people who supply that money to them. so, they have a lot of power, but they do have some limitations. maybe not enough though.
absolutely. I suppose it's a bit unfair to label the healthcare companies as relative 'evil doers,' it's just that the individual is the innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of a system designed to favor financial gains over societal ones, in this case healthcare.
