Weiner: (I)f that pig isn’t squealing, we are probably doing something wrong

Put this one in the “obvious” category. Today’s papers reveal that the health insurance industry is not happy that reform is moving (inching?) closer by the day.

Well, if that pig isn’t squealing, we are probably doing something wrong.

Health insurance companies make money when they take in as much as they can and pay out as little as they can. Their shareholders demand profits, not necessarily high quality health care.

That is why we need some force to compete with them that is not driven by profits. We need the public option.

A commentator recently introduced me as the “health insurance industry’s least favorite person.”

I can live with that.

If they weren't fighting this tooth and nail I'd be a lot more suspicious.

10. profit margins in the healthcare sector are on the bottom percentile

relative to other sectors. If you look at pre-tax margins for the major health insurers, they were around 6% in 2008, vs. about 9% for the S&P 500.
