    Umm YEAH, here’s the thing. They’re a corporate tech giant. Of COURSE they put profits before patients, that’s the business model of every corporation. It’s like my friend who works in Hollywood getting disgrunted and one day he said to me, “I’m so disillusioned, it’s all about making money.” Well no duh! What else WOULD it be about for them???

    Most companies are primarily concerned with profit first, they have to be to survive. Only non-profits really have the focus more on people than on making money, they have the luxury but even those are often governed by profit-making boards.
