Think about it. The practical thing for your parents to do, all things being equal, would have been to let you die from your ill health and try again with another child. And since in the USA, practicality = morally correct, it would also have been the right thing to do. I just find that unacceptable, but I'm an old throwback to the outdated Catholic concepts of charity and mercy.

Let me put it this way: If it's a problem of personal responsibility and not the government, then we shouldn't regulate at all and let the corps do as they please.

And no, most doctors aren't sociopaths. But corporations are. Heck, capitalism and the whole idea of profit in business is sociopathic. If doctors are in it to make money, then that means dumping all those cute ethics at the side of the road in the name of Profit. The shareholders demand it, you know.
I'm not even saying being sociopathic is a bad thing; it all depends on your point of view. But let's not pretend that are ethics and nobility in the pursuit of profit.
