      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.

                  If there is no profit, then nobody would make it.

                  think the people should own the means of production where it makes sense.

                  It never makes sense. You can do that now, but nobody does because it doesn’t make sense.
