    working taxpayers are going to subsidize the uninsured and the very sick one way or another. We may as well do it in a way that's more transparent, more direct, and confers more benefits to us.
I agree, it's six or one half dozen.

The cap at 20%, do you if that is net or gross profit? If it's net, I'd say that's pretty damned good. It's also something that is likely easily manipulated, especially at the net level.

Not sure, I'd have to look it up. I recall the percent is different for independent insurers, and that if an insurer fails to hit their cap, they have to give rebates. I agree that the companies will try to skirt the rules any way they can.
