    It doesn’t refute that at all. CEO pay is a fraction of total cost. It isn’t the reason why cost are going up and it’s illogical to come to that conciliation. United health group is an insurance provider. You’re confusing health insurance with medical care. Health insurance does not provide care. They pay the bills.

    Their revenue was 370 billion. 22 billion is about 8% profit which is slim.

            No, I think we should limit the cost of drugs based solely on cost to manufacture and distribute, and pay those operational costs

            If we payed for the research. I agree. Otherwise companies will just spend less on research. I don’t mind capping margins unless they don’t enforce the patent.
