I believe in the impossible.

It’s not always the right and moral thing to do to make a profit. Sometimes, the motive should be to benefit society. Without having to make a profit. For instance, let’s learn to provide medical care for everyone. Without having to reap a profit. Let’s do it just for the sake of the common good. Of course, the providers of medical care should be paid adequate salaries. That’s right and fair. But not to the tune of making ungawdly profits. Let’s charge just enough to barely cover administrative costs. Not obscene amounts. Yes, let’s make medical care affordable. For everyone. Through what might be called socialized medicine. Some people will tell me it can’t be done. That it’s impractical. Maybe even impossible. But I don’t buy that. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We just need to start thinking in terms of the common good. –Jim Broede
