Make big profit

People don’t work for free or build hospitals & restaurants for free…

I keep reading on YA how people say its wrong for health care providers to make a profit.

I keep hearing how some companies made billions in profits but how many billions worth of claims did they pay to earn that profit?

The people that complain that they made billions in profit never say how much they had to spend to earn it. Apparently some people think they are supposed to pay for billions in claims and just break even?

And those of you that want government supplied health care because it cuts out the insurance companies profits: Do you really think the US government would not have massive overhead costs? What does the government do now that is more efficient than the private sector, anything?

… enter in or invest heavily in a health insurance company?

Surely, those firms (and Gore’s billionaire hedge fund friends) have enough smarts to make a bunch of dough while driving dough excessive premiums if there is so much profit being made. Right?

Do the businesses you don’t work for deserve to make a profit?

Cindy McCain owns eight houses and condos, most for investment purposes. How can this millionaire make a profit in this horrible economy.

I feel so sorry for her! I’m going to vote her husband into office so they can live in the White House for free for the next four years, until they get back on their feet.

were the cause of all our problems?

Especially since the largest insurance companies are non-profit entities and most Americans are covered by these companies?

Do some people not know what non-profit means?

Seriously how long do we intend to allow Movies to make hundreds of millions in Profits each,like the ridiculous profit margin on Batman. This money could better be used to help Education,or Infrastructure improvements.Instead we let it all be given to the Executives who run “Big Entertainment”,when will this madness stop?
Eric.No Gas is not something you need,take the bus,ride your bike,work closer to home.But the Dems have made it clear,that in fact we don’t need Gas.If we did they wouldn’t have fought the Exploration,and Collection of Oil,plus fought any ability to increase refining capacity for over 30 years. If they did that,at the same time that we “needed Gas”,then that would make them UnAmerican,wouldn’t it. Oh wait,it is the Dems I’m talking about,maybe we do need Gas.

you weren’t screwing yourself? I would **** for you to support something so silly, only to find out that it’s your own pocket book that is affected….

Bob J – I took that approach yesterday, and there were still people defending it. I figured if people realized it would actually affect their personal finances, they’d be a little more open minded to the negative impact of what they support…
Chihuahua….It’s only rhetorical because you assume you know the answer. It’s not an excuse for the high prices. But not only will it cost higher prices at the pumps, it will affect investments made by average Americans. It’s a DOUBLE HIT. What’s your excuse for that idiocricy?

Is it because it’s money left over at the end of the fiscal year that could have been spent by them?
Democrat: Big oil? Making a profit? Billions of dollars? How can this be?!?!
If there’s money left over, your evil!
They must be stopped through taxation!
Price of commodities go up? Punish them! Tax them more!
Gez: Life isn’t fair, and who are you to get money someone else worked for?

Or should the Govt take less in taxes that we wind up paying for at the pump?
Above reflects 1/4 earnings/tax.
captainobvious_lj: you had me until you wrote “the point is mute” it’s “moot”…you now have zero credibility.
