Thomas,

Use your common sense. You posted some numbers. But you did not post the source of those
numbers, nor did you post information of the parent companies.

If you could stop with the personal attacks professing I am being obtuse, coy, disingenuous,
etc., it would be greatly appreciated.

From where did the source for those numbers you posted come? Could you post the link?

I am like JC on this one. A 3 percent profit margin for the insurance industry is not logical.

And so you know, I have minor in accounting. Not that this makes me a genius, but I do have a
fairly good head for how math works.

You do realize that AIG, who we bailed out with billions, is an insurance company, right?

You do realize that the trillions of tax dollars in the health bill is allocated to go to
insurance companies to pay for insurance policies, right?

If you could respond without making personal attacks, it would be greatly appreciated.

Can you show me the link of where you got those numbers?
