And in most cases - hey that’s fine. I disagree but it’s ok.
One area where I will always push back is on services that are required for life. Food. Shelter. Power (electric, etc) … healthcare.
If the service is critical, profit should be considered last, if at all. (As I write this, my elec provider has doubled its generation rate this month… yet making tons of profit for its shareholders…)
The same with healthcare.
I doubt the accuracy of this statement. But I'll make a largely-unsubstantiated claim of my own, nonetheless: for-profit agriculture has substantially increased the cost of for-profit healthcare by focusing on high-profit foods that are highly processed and addictive instead of foods that are actually good for us to consume.
Spend 5 minutes researching it with google what happens with collective farms.

People vote with their dollars what they want to eat.
Besides, if you do google the history of collective farms, the result in every case was famine, not breaking out in health.
What about kibbutzs and moshavs in Israel? Granted, they are small-scale,
