Lot of "manatees" in Florida.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

So obvious it almost got past me.

Despite the joke... any hospital making a profit from gastric bypass should die in a fire.

There are much better and safer alternatives if you absolute require a surgical intervention.

Why not profit off the fat fucks that will cost MORE money later in treatment of diabetes, heart failure, etc?

This smells of bait. 

I'll just state that I think there are far too many cases where a gastric bypass procedure is unethical medicine in the first place.  Adding a financial incentive to it pushes some buttons for me.  Your opinion may vary.

It's not bait, it's an honest statement.  Perhaps I *did* unintentionally word it as such.

We're a capitalistic society.  Hospitals provide a service, yes, but they also primarily are business interests.

Gastric bypass is now becoming a crutch for couch potato fatasses that gorge themselves on supersize combo meals, rather than eating healthy and getting a bit of exercise.  And if the hospital can make money off it to offset other costs of treatment of health problems CAUSED by obesity, so be it.  GBP should be a last resort, rather than what it is rapidly becoming.  Besides, I know two people that have had it done, and now two years later, they are gaining weight again for the simple fact they are STILL leading a sedentary lifestyle and eating crap foods.

I'm asserting that the practice of good medicine and the practice of good business aren't good bedfellows.  "The customer is always right" isn't a mantra that any physician should practice, but is often one imposed upon them by upper administration.  It's one of the largest contributing reasons in my decision to leave medicine. 

For-profit medical care does provide some benefits to medicine as a whole, but it also provides far more detriments.
