on Rx: Profiting from Sickness
Consider this also: I worked for several years in (the software end of) the health care industry. The last such company I worked for made their money by providing insurance providers with data regarding the deniability and/or lowest cost option possible for the services submitted; for this service, they were paid on average $8 per claim. At the time I left, they were in the process of going into the business of completely processing the claims, for which they would be paid an average of $30 per claim.

This is so true - not to mention the fact that when I do see my 'doctor' more often than not I actually see their 'physician's assistant'.

Considering the fact that there are only a few large insurance companies, aren't we simply setting ourselves up for an insurance crisis in the same way that we set ourselves up for the current economic crisis - where we will end up needing to bail out one of more of these large providers simply because they are 'too big to fail'?
