I interviewed years ago at the big health care colossus here in town. Revenue around $250 billion, so that gives you an idea of size. The fucking HQ is palatial. Seriously, it looks like something out of a Dubai or UAE tourist brochure. I was shaking my head and thinking "Yup, this is why our premiums are so high." I'm all for letting the market determine winners and losers, but this may be one of those exceptions where different principles apply, because clearly there's a shit-ton of inefficiency in their operations. It's really efficient at extracting cash from insureds, and inefficient at everything else.
