| Why compare to Apple, when the healthcare is arguably more complex and expensive? |

| the original OP is claiming that the healthcare industry is too profitable. So you have to compare it to something to see if it is too profitable. |

Moreover, why focus on absolute profits? If the healthcare industry split into 3 (eg. doctors, dental, drugs) but with the same margins, does that mean they're suddenly not "too profitable"? | |
