    Americans paid arbitrary interest to banking corporations due to costs artificially inflated by middleman corporations

    I’d be curious how executive compensation for those healthcare companies compared to that $74 billion

        The problem is, there continue to be too many of our fellow humans willing to take his place (the UHC CEO). These companies have made their product so difficult and expensive, that it is virtually useless for most anyways. we might as well just opt out of it at this point. Let them squeeze money out of each other.
