How would it survive if we eliminated the insurance industries ability to gain some profit ?

I guess if they became bored rich people managing and shuffling around the money from for profit investment accts. to pay for care for the payees it might work. IF we could find enough rich people bored enough to volunteer for such jobs ?

Sounds crazy doesn't it ?

Yes, and the military is quite a different facet of a soveriegn nation than it's healthcare system.

But I agree that the military shouldn't be privatized.
