Here are a few of the real reasons:
Aetna CEO, Mark Bertolini, salary . . . . . 17.3 million
Cigna CEO, David Cordani . . . . . . . . . . . . 17.3 million
United Health CEO, Stephen Hemsley . . 14.5 million
Anthem CEO, Joseph Swedish . . . . . . . . .13.6 million
Humana CEO, Bruce Broussard . . . . . . . .10.3 million
The annual salary of just one of these parasites would pay for 20 MRI machines or 300 nurses. The next time you need a high-tech diagnosis or a dressing changed, go see Mr. Bertolini (below)--I'm sure he'd be a big help.
Until we decide as a nation that the purpose of medical care is making Americans well, not making insurance companies rich, IT'S ALL JUST PISSING IN THE WIND.

Right on, Joe! It seems like no one mentions insurance companies as the reason the ACA is so messed up in some instances. I believe the ACA law states that 80% of the money taken in for their clients must go to actual "health"! It stands to reason that because of this the companies are going to raise their rates whenever possible so that the CEOs and other top level brass can keep up their way of life. Also there is the fact that the Federal government can do little about it. Why? Did you know that Major League Baseball isn't the only industry exempt from antitrust law?

Glad to read the Karson Report again.
