Health insurance company profits are not the reason health insurance is expensive. Check the 80/20 rule explanation on this page. https://www.healthcare.gov/health-care-law-protections/rate-review/
LOL..that's like saying Blue Cross Blue Shield is a "not for profit" (which they claim to be, but of course are not really)..all a HC company has to do is juggle around some internal accounting and <poof>..meet the 80/20 (or, in BCBS's case "not for profit") requirement.
I don't think there's much debate that HC companies are swimming in record profits - disclosed or otherwise.
