Piedmont Fayette, United Healthcare stalemate continues

4. I did read your statement.

You said, "Demolish.For-Profit.Insurers.Now." You said nothing about the evils of "FOR PROFIT HEALTHCARE" until after you read my statement.

As to your claim that, "Insurers add ZERO value to medical 'care'," I would challenge that. We have paid $6125 in health insurance premiums and my wife's employer has paid $5750, for a total of $11,875 total insurance premium cost. The insurance company has paid out, in medication and medical services, $27,685. So the insurer has added a value of $15,810 to our health care.

Note that the medical providers billed the insurance companies about $85,000 for those services, and the insurance companies discounted those bills down to about one third of the billed amount. Presumably people with no insurance would have had to pay the full $85,000.
