sure they are losing money on the public exchange but not on the entire system. They are still making billions and billions of dollars in profit, their profits are still growing despite the Obama/Romney care disaster. United Health Group reports losing hundreds of millions of dollars in the public exchange but they still had revenue grow by some absurd number last year.
The insurance companies are fine, but they like to whine about how their rate of growth is less now with Obama care but they still grow at billions of dollars a year in profit. They've made outrageous amounts of money by hijacking a system that is completely cloaked in terms of services and charges (their own doing I might add) and is a commodity that plays on the most fundamental fears of any living being. Insurance companies have no sympathy from me and it wouldn't hurt them to front hundreds of millions more to people in need, after all they earn billions in profits each year anyhow.
