This article completely seems to miss the point. If your profits are capped by regulation, how can you increase them? Increase costs.

I don't know how you can write so many words about health insurance and not mention this even once, even concluding your post with "Why don't they have the same profit levels as the S&P?"

Mentioned in the article:

> [Matt Bruening] also alleges that some of this “inefficiency” is actually intentional on the part of the insurers — a disguised way to pay themselves out.
