At this point, we should all realize for-profit healthcare and for-profit insurance is simply not the answer for the country's healthcare system.

"The big six insurers’ profits have soared along with their revenues. Last year they made $60.7 billion in profits collectively, compared to $16.9 billion in 2010." vs. $1.1 Trillion in revenues. Or ~$5,000 per private insured person per year. So a family of 4 pays $20,000 per year just for the right to have access to some part of the medical system before they spend a single dollar.

And we spend about $13,000 per person per year in actual healthcare expenses. About 25% of the money we spend on healthcare flows through 6 companies.

This system is broken. By design. And we are too feeble (save for one guy lashing out) to do anything about it.


This... Working in the field it seems that more and more, everything is about extracting cash and less about people and health. I think it is one reason why we've seen an explosion of health influencers and so much woo on the internet.
