They have gotten so large and so vertically integrated that they can game the entire system.
You want your medical loss ratio to be where it needs to be?
Well, then push the cost to the PBM.
You want to increase your profits here?
You want to make your Medicare Advantage programs work?
Game the system this way.
The big insurance companies, think about this, right?
We all have insurance or we're on our parents insurance at some point, but the insurance company defines a plan, right?
And they set a premium and they set a deductible and a max out of pocket.
The less you make, the more likely you're gonna take a lower premium, higher deductible.
But excluding the people on Medicaid, 40% of people can't afford a $400 bill, right, or expense.
Yet they're the ones choosing the 2,500, the $5,000 deductibles and the 9,000 out-of-pockets, which means for the insurance companies that they know that they can't afford to get the first level of care,
anywhere.
They can't afford to go to the hospital.
So the insurance company is just keeping the premiums.
And even if you work for a company, let's say you work for a company here in LA and your net take home, you know, is $35,000, $40,000 and you have a $2,500 or $3,000 deductible and you're playing basketball and you go to dunk like Jason always does and breaks his leg.
Yeah.
You're fucked.
You know, you're not going, that's why my fingers are like this, right, because you just can't afford to go use your deductible.
That's the problem of the system, and as long as we have these companies that are so vertically integrated and continue to buy more and more companies so that they can game the system even more, and they control the patient flow, and they control the flow of drugs.
