A certain wrong "arguement"

Sometimes people who advocate for government healthcare deride private insurers and providers in like manner: "It's despicable; they're making money off sick people, you can't be allowed to make money off sick, innocent people!"

Now I know this isn't much of a post, but I just felt like pointing out that grocery stores make money off hungry people. The question then is, is feeding the hungry less important than treating the ill? You really are retarded if you say yes, but if no, and if you ever entertained the idea that profiting from treating people's ailments was immoral, then either you concede that notion was wrong, or admit you're a communist.

I dunno if I've ever actually heard that argument before.

Watch Stossel's "Sick in America" on youtube for an example.
