Aetna profits up on member, premium increases

I know how they are making so much profit, but charging its insured to death! for the $10,000 a year it costs us just to have coverage I am sitting here waiting for them to approve an MRI for my back. I've been in pain for 2 months, having done everything I could. My doctor explained to the nurse that I was sitting in the office CRYING with pain, but I guess that didn't rate approval from the blood sucking scum at Aetna.

And the CEO has a comp package of over 17 million.
Having a health care system that is profit driven is immoral, unethical, and punitive to people who are already in a weakened state. It's obscene. At least socialized medicine levels the playing field. If we truly wanted to create a fair and equitable national health care plan, we could. Companies like Aetna and the like have no vested interest in health-care reform. They're more concerned with keeping their share holders happy.
Sounds like a conflict of interest for medicine in general.

Saw the Aetna CEO on tv with the President tonight. He seemed to avoid answering the question put to him about company profits. You know what they say, if it walks like a pig and talks like a pig what else can it be.

Most of you people seem to forget that many of these so called blood sucking health care comapanies that are taking advanage of the poor uninformed little guy is the only profitable company in their personal 401k plans and personal retirement portfolios. What happened to Americans working hard and finding a way to do something for less money and make a profit. Oh yeah its called Obama, Michael Moore, and Socialism. I for one like to work hard and get out of life what I put into it. If America and our health care system is so bad, then why do not only citizens from other countries, not to mention the heads of their state, come to the USA to get major health issues addressed.
