But the insurance industry does have a profit motive to keep us healthy. They have done a great job in making cars safer. I believe we could make guns safer too if we just required insurance like we do with cars.
However, they have not had the same impact with healthcare because there are many different companies. They cannot afford to invest in cures since every company would profit equally. However, if everyone were covered by Medicare, a govt run system, it would be a very nice fit with govt funded research. The two would go together.
