I guess do throw doctors in that bucket. I don't mind people making money off of making other people better within reason. A bill for $100,000 for a hospital stay to deal with the leukemia you're suffering from is too much money*. Paying $105 a month for a prescription for anti-depressants is too much, especially when the depression is the one thing that prevents me from finding work from time to time. No work, no money, no prescription, no Serotonin to get work... it's a weird catch 22 situation.

*True story. I went to a fund raiser for a friend when I was in Monterey that his friends put together to help him with his hospital bills. I don't think the $1500 we raised helped all that much, tho. And I think he has insurance through Stanford...

ETA: There are 2 prescriptions that I'm on for my depression. So it was $210 a month on just my meds...
