LIKE MOST LARGE CORPORATIONS, LARGE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE PROBABLY MISMANAGED AND DO NOT WATCH THEIR UNNECESSARY EXPENSES ( LIKE EXECUTIVE SALARIES, BENEFITS, AND GOLDEN PARACHUTES).

THIS "COST SHIFTING" WILL ONLY CEASE IF WE ELIMINATE REQUIRING THE PROVIDERS TO TREAT THE "FREEBIE" PATIENTS.
