It is good to know that my health insurance provider, WellPoint, profited about $4.75 billion last year. My group provider is the State of Illinois. Meaning that some of the multi-billion dollar profit is Illinois tax payer money. That's all fine and dandy when you consider the long run. Me and my family have coverage and millions don't. What's it to me to care?
What's happening is tax payer money is going to a private business to make it filthy rich. Happens all the time right? Again, who cares? Yet the nation allows millions to go uninsured simply because they don't have tax payer funded jobs. Maybe tax payers should start caring.
