They told Reason.tv that America is a cruel land where profits come before people. "It's disgusting!" said one woman. "There should be no profits in health care!" What about those who argue that profits drive medical innovation? "I think that's kind of sick," declared another protester, who wants the US to be more like Canada, where government policy keeps drug prices, and drug company profits, lower than in America.

Included in the long list is the innovation that saved the life of Dave Christensen, construction supervisor, husband, and father.
