Actually you are wrong. Insurance companies do not make what most people would consider "big time profits" relative to other comparable industries. Compare their profits to pharms and it isn't even close. And CEO salaries are not indicative of huge profits. They are more closely aligned with revenue than with net profits. The cost of doing business as an insurance company is astronomical. What do you think the "managed healthcare" concept was born out of? The need to increase profits to a viable point due to the skyrocketing cost of healthcare. Go ahead and posts the CEOs salaries, they mean nothing.
