Sorry, a bit late on this. Had a bit of life going on there.
Anyway, as I'm sure you'll know, figures are all over the map on this
depending on who you listen to. But them best averages I've heard are about 1%.
So how does that justify the percentages of price increases over the last few
years?
I find it amusing that insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies
needed no bailout. Didn't even hear a peep from them till healthcare reform was
brought up again and to the forefront. I'm guessing they don't really need it.
We're bailing them out on a daily basis. Wasn't it the insurance companies that
just wanted a decrease in the percentage of a dollar they had to pay out to
their clients? And wasn't this decrease, or increase, depending on how you look
at it, even greater then what Vegas casinos are allowed?
So on the face of it, how friggen greedy do they have to get before
someone starts calling foul? Especially when it's your and my money?
