‘Silly show’ reveals idiocy of health care

The debate about “health care” now going on has nothing to do with health care; the issue is money.

As a “consumer” of health care, let me ask you to look at one of those “Explanation of Benefits” you receive.

Note the huge difference between what the insurer is charged and what it actually pays. Now ask: How does any logical business survive by doing what these two (BlueCross BlueShield and CHI Memorial) are doing?

As a business owner and operator, if I had tried to do bookkeeping this way, I would have ended up in jail.
