I think Exxon Mobil made like 8 billion dollars profit last quarter.

That's almost the entire Health Care (budget) shortfall in California. I guess EXXON MOBIL has a right to make a profit but health care people need to eat too.

This is a very twisted story. But the big corporations GE, GM, IBM ect ect ect. put aside money to take care of their constituents (workers) who pay for ERISA (1974). It gets really complicated when the GOVT gets involved with things like privacy PROTECTION through HIPPA.

Where ERISA can't even talk to the Insurance company who is admnistrating the benefits for the constituent. (ANOTHER REASON NOT TO PAY BENEFITS)

IT'S LIKE CORPORATE VEIL WITHIN CORPORATE VEIL AND THE MONEY TRAIL IS LIKE TRYING TO TRACK A PHANTOM PAYMENT ON A COMPUTER SCREEN. IT GETS REALLY REALLY TWISTED WHEN THE PARENT COMPANY STARTS OWNING THE COMPANY THAT ADMINISTRATES THE BENEFITS (AND THEY STILL CAN'T TALK TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF HIPPA) AND THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND IT ALL IS NOT PAYING FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CONSTITUENT BUT ACTUALLY FUNNELING, SHELTERING, MAYBE EVEN EMBEZZELING THE MONEY IN TO PRIVATE FUNDS THAT FURTHER HAVE NO BENEFIT TO THE CONSTITUENT WHO IT'S DESIGNED TO TAKE CARE OF.
