He also threw out the BIG LIE that insurers should be "nonprofit".
Sometime back, here in Maine...the sole hosting company position was given to Harvard Pilgrim, a "nonprofit" for the floundering "Dirigo" state-run health plan.
The original parent company was Anthem (a Blue Cross-like entity) who is a regular private insurer, and who originally received the host position by being the only one to bid on it.
It turns out that the "nonprofit" Harvard's operating costs are far higher than the evil taxpaying, profit taking Anthem.
