What does it really stand for?

Here is an example of what capitalism should not be used for: medical care. I think capitalism is a great device for making widgets, including musical instruments. But it is not ethical for a stock holder to profit from your illness, or to deny you care because it is expensive. The structure of that particular part of the American Way needs to be changed to an even more pure capitalism, like the credit union concept, whereby the stockholders are also the owners, and all profits go back into lowering costs, instead of into the pockets of CEO's and outside shareholders. Just in medicine, you understand, do I feel it is unethical to do it the way we do.
