Those %#@ Health Insurance Companies … cutting to the chase

Yesterday, I posted numbers and an analysis of the profitability of health insurance companies.

Conclusion: They don’t make all that much money, so squeezing them will do little to alleviate spiraling healthcare costs.

Blogger  ‘Consultant Ninja’ – reduced my analysis to a straightforward graphic. 

Much better presentation of the data, same conclusion.

    Great chart but would like one clarification; is HMO the two big companies referenced in previous post or all Health Maintance Organizations (HMO’s)? Thanks.

    This chart is flawed because it suggests that HMOs manage and profit from government healthcare spending and spending by private individuals.
