Still... you are always a step short of calling capitalism immoral. To abuse Earth for profit is absolutely the highest level of evil. As is the concept of money itself. As is "property rights" that lead to homelessness via division.

A profitmaking healthcare system during a Global Pandemic that has snuffed out 700,000 of our people is a crime against humanity.

The problem with #Healthcare is not that is profitable, but the fact that is non-negotiable : YOU #PAY THEIR #PRICE OR YOU #DIE.
