I happened to come across some relevant data while googling today:
FactCheck.org: Pushing for a Public Plan
0.005% just doesn't qualify as "mind blowing" in my book. Not even 0.6% qualifies.
Well, maybe it does. Considering all the angst over this supposed gouging of the public,and a few gold-trimmed plates, 0.6% and 0.005% are "mind-blowingly" small numbers.

This is a little misleading as it fails to include the "cost" of providing that health care insurance. Their profit was $13b, but what was their revenue and how much of that was waste to the system? We could hire 2 more doctors for what we pay annually for support staff who just do billing and coding and handle (the many) denials for payment from the insurance companies including Medicare.
