I am referring to the whole “everyone NEEDS treatment” mindset overcoming the whole “you have to want treatment” for it to be effective mentality.

Sadly, yes, sometimes this is the case.

The bottom line, is that health care is a BUSINESS in America (for now). And in business, there is a profit motive (which is NOT a bad thing, necessarily).
