7. You can never remove money from the equation
It simply cannot be done.

I know you said "profit", not money, but that isn't as much money as you think it is. If you confiscated all the profits of all the famously greedy health-insurance companies it would pay for only four days of health care for all Americans. Add in the profits of the 10 biggest rapacious U.S. drug companies and you add another 7 days.

Corporate profits are a problem, but eliminating them doesn't solve the problem.
