Doctors are trying to defend their right to enrich themselves by charging fees per illness, per procedure or treatment, or by owning a diagnostic or surgery center.
Insurance companies, and their executives are defending their right to enrich themselves by denying coverage for pre-existing illnesses or claims for expensive procedures.
And lawyers are trying to defend their right to enrich themselves by suing doctors, insurance companies, and even you if you happen to get in a car accident.
The entire paragraph above deals with nothing more than greed, and making money. Below is the oath taken by doctors, and nowhere in this oath does it mention enriching yourself or making money. The oath is about helping your fellow man.

Human Rights, Homelessness and Health Care
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations in 1948, proclaimed that âeveryone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of oneself and oneâs family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care.â
Although this statement of high principle was adopted at the urging of the United States, and although it reflects the truths of our nationâs founding documents, our government has achieved neither formal recognition nor practical realization of these rights. Mass homelessness and the escalating health care crisis in the US are compelling evidence of our disregard for human rights. Sadly, our country is but one of many nations where grave offenses against the dignity of human beings are commonplace, and global enforcement of human rights remains a distant goal. In the US, however, the twin advantages of democratic institutions and great wealth provide the opportunity for our nation to implement the principles human rights. Implementation of human rights principles will lead inexorably to the elimination of mass homelessness.
