UNH makes some money, but last year their income was 3B on 81B in revenue. A significant portion of that is contract work for other insurance companies. You're talking about one of the biggest, if not the biggest, private health care insurance company, making $2B out of what, 2.4 Trillion total health care expense. These companies earnings are not even worth arguing over. Trivial in amount. And they provide a huge service for the country. This is why Obama has lost the health care fight. He was so focused on killing the insurance companies that he couldn't find time to address the true problems in health care. The Left just cannot stand these evil old corporations.
