Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Just saw a snippet in the back of the new consumer reports (yes, let the consumer reports jabs begin!).
Turns out the 'non profit' healthcare providers are sitting on huge piles of cash. Blue Cross/Blue Shield nationwide has accumulated approximately $30B in 'reserves'. There are 45M uninsured people in the US. Do the math.
CR tried to force BC/BS in some states to return the cash in the form of subsidized insurance or insuring the poor. From what was written it looks like the insurers swung a deal with the state politicos to do a little something symbolic and fund something for the state in exchange for protection from the screaming mobs.
Nice.
