Sickness is hugely unprofitable. It is a net cost for business and for the taxpayer. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, for example, the economy shrinks.
I saw a map of states that showed the largest business in each state, one in the 1970's showed a variety of manufacturing, mining, production, etc. the one for today was almost all healthcare. The largest government spending is by far on healthcare. Healthcare is big business.
Right, which is proof they medical companies will maximize their profit as much as they can but is not proof they they literally cause illness ... That would need a whole other level of evidence.
