"How much of America's health care costs go to insurance company profits and how much actually goes to pay health care providers?"

The figure of 15% has been thrown around, so that may be right. Sounds reasonable, and remember, that is overhead and profit, not just profit..

When you consider that a tax dollar you send to Washington comes back to your home town as about 28¢, I don't think anyone is getting gouged here. Still, 20% of the US population is unhappy with their care, or lack of it. New ideas are needed.
