Capitalism describes a system where industry and trade are run solely by private entities for profit. Great system if you happen to have money, pretty shitty if you don't.

In a perfect world that would be great. But in our society I don't see much medical advancement based on altruism alone.
You realize that there's a lot of grey between predatory capitalism and pure altruism to motivate people, yes?
ETA: I was imprecise when I said "for-profit". What I am opposed to is unrestrained capitalism in the healthcare arena.
