Cartoon: Profits over patient care

Amber Chow, Staff Writer • March 24, 2025

In today’s healthcare system, a doctor’s stethoscope is more for just listening to heartbeats- tuned to the sound of cash flow. These days, patients are worried about more than just their health and a speedy recovery; they’re also concerned about the piling medical bills. The US has spent millions on the industry just for the money to vanish. Given the overpriced prescriptions and lack of insurance coverage, the system seems focused on profit rather than patient care. When getting sick feels like an unaffordable luxury, one has to ask who the healthcare industry is healing. (Amber Chow)
