The profit motive should have no place in these three areas: 1) healthcare, 2)reporting the news, and 3)the defense industry. Our world would be an infinitely better place if in those three areas profit were removed from the equation.

How about prisons? You think it's ok for prisons to run "for profit slavery"? Read the 13a again.

I would say anything that has to do with human well-being and necessities of life should not have a profit motive. Things we all need should not be denied to any of us. People that are secure and free from need make better decisions and choices.

I agree with you 100%, but it seems the news is problematic. Wherever the money comes from will have an undue influence. Whether it is tax (state) money, individuals or corporations how can we curb bias? Even non-profits want to keep their jobs.

Better yet, remove profit motive from everything. Most profit is pointless exploitation beyond making enough to get by + a little extra. Everyone should make enough to satisfy their needs; billionaires should be abolished, wealth should be capped at 50 million.

My favorite part of the 2020 primary debates was when you said we don't have a healthcare system in this country, we have a "sickness care" system. Keep on! Where has been the conversation about ways to prevent covid-19 naturally?

I would add prisons.
I fully agree, though I'd add to it Education. We should want more people to be skilled and intelligent, forcing adults to go into debt to earn a degree should not be the goal.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Totally agree. Shareholders should not make profit off of basic human needs, truthful information to the public and defense (and prison system). They should be compensated for their extra work and creativity for innovation, but not shareholder profits.
