The whole health care system got out of control when companies went to for profit and publicly traded. Yes it created competetion, but also created big wall street type payouts with everyone's hand in the cookie jar. I'm just waiting for some of the smaller insurance companies to ask for part of the federal bailout money. But you won't see Humana asking for it, they are still having big profits and expanding their operations...hmmmm....makes u wonder how that could be in todays economy? We really already know the reason for that. Insurance companies provide a necesssary service but w/ may too few regulations and too little oversight.

How about Ken Melani, CEO for Highmark's 3 million dollar salary...the President of the United States only makes $400,000. How about the millions of dollars Highmark wasted trying to merge with IBC of Philadelphia. They stopped trying when it became clear the merger would not be approved but they spent all of that money...People this is money that should have gone toward our healthcare. How about the bonus and commission program they have for their sales executives which gives them anywhere from $20,000 and up for bonuses just because a company kept their insurance with Highmark...How about all the money they are spending lobbying against healthcare reform because they don't want the dollars to go towards healthcare they want it in their pockets. You should check out Highmark in Pittsburgh's legal department. It is like a whole new world all varnished hard wood the best their policy holders money can buy.
