Boston’s Mayor Doesn’t Get Ethics
Boston’s Mayor Thomas Menino apparently thinks that in-store health clinics (such as MinuteClinic) are unethical because they (gasp) make money off of sick people!
Wait, so what about pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, health insurance companies, doctors, nurses, ambulance workers, hospital staffers, and scientists who do research on clinical diseases (among others)? Maybe they shouldn’t be making money either! That would really encourage them to succeed in helping others!
And farmers shouldn’t be driven by profits, because they’re making money off of hungry people! And homebuilders shouldn’t be driven by profits, because they’re making money off of people looking for shelter!
To think that Boston would have a mayor so economically and morally illiterate.
