<<<The same could be said about private universities, colleges and training centers. Where is the value in different admission processes, different advertising campaigns, different computer systems and high pay for elite professors? Why should someone be paid 50K dollars to give an hour speech? >>> Big difference. Universities, colleges, and training centers all have different mission. They teach different things to different people with different needs. Health insurance companies collect money with the express mission to pay back as little as possible. I am sure most people that work in insurance companies are good people. They may be hard working, frugal, and religious people but what they do for a iving does not add any value to the health care stystem. They are an overhead. Their competitive structure adds burden to an already wasteful and inefficient service.
