What makes you think their profit is based on a percentage of their payouts? Where did that assumption come from? Their rising premiums. Unless they are just raising their prices and their costs are flat and they are pocketing the difference. So I don't see how "they obviously are not policing." Maybe that was too harsh. I should have said they are 'effectively policing'. If health care cost had been within the range of inflation these past 20 years we wouldn't be talking about national health care.
