>>For their profit to add 15% to the cost of health care they would have to have margins considerably above 15%.

They have other costs but so would any other system.<<

Tim -

Since they are operating with the intention of making a profit, all of their costs add to the overall cost of healthcare, and their profits do as well. It's all additive.

This is simple math, Tim. No matter how you look at it, that's the way it is.

if making a profit were not a requirement, a lot of costs, including sales, weeding out undesirable clients, etc., would fall by the way side. Again, just simple math.
