Should cancer patients without insurance or money be left to die?

Answer that question if the cancer patient was your mother, father, sister, brother, daughter, son, or anyone else you know personally. That should give you your answer.

Any idea as to how many medications and medical machines costing billions of dollars have been developed for profit?

No, i dont. Why don't you tell me. Also, how many have been developed without profit motive?

Then while you are at it. Tell me why some of the finest medical research facilities in the world - including Boston Childrens, Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia, Shriners, and St. Jude can do it without profit?

When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail? Profit has a place. But trying to profit from every human flaw, pain, and misery makes people look sub-human in my eyes.
