How to Build a Healthcare Unicorn?

If one were to view insurance providers as unnecessary, then any percentage margin can be seen as a leech on the systems.

Saying they are unnecessary would be a misunderstanding of our current system. But to say our current system can be altered to render insurance as we know it today unnecessary is a different thing.

They could have zero.margin and still be a net negative. It is the payment to insurers, not the profits, that are at issue.
