Yeah, tough for you, me, and everybody else...except United Healthcare,
the nation's 2nd largest healthcare provider.
Here's an interesting fact from today's paper: In the 3rd quarter of this year,
UHC made a profit of...
...$1,100,000,000.00 (Lots of freakin' zeros, ain't it)
Yeah, that's 1.1 BILLION DOLLARS!
How the hell can that be right, when so many people can't afford insurance, and those who can (barely)afford it get increased rates every year...due to the high cost of healthcare.
Apparently it's not that high, since the healthcare companies can make such a nice profit
for doing nothing but basically passing money around, and taking their cut.
Maybe the government needs to actually DO something for the people, and put a profit ceiling
on health insurance companies...
Yeah...I'll be holding my breath for that one...
