Americans paid arbitrary interest to banking corporations due to costs artificially inflated by middleman corporations

I’d be curious how executive compensation for those healthcare companies compared to that $74 billion

The problem is, there continue to be too many of our fellow humans willing to take his place (the UHC CEO). These companies have made their product so difficult and expensive, that it is virtually useless for most anyways. we might as well just opt out of it at this point. Let them squeeze money out of each other.

The only reason I can't agree with you is that as much as I hate them, I am one of the people dependent on them. They cover my $25,000/month live-saving medication.

Yeah, that’s probably the real reason for Trump’s issue with the border. Too many Americans escaping to Mexico and Canada to get prescription meds at affordable prices. But, of course they can’t say that. Also, I’m sorry to hear that and hope we can all get a better system at some point.
