The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Then I'd like to know how much of the fraud they have gone after all along. It is not like they never lift a finger.

I did a Google search for articles about Humana, Cigna, and United Health "prosecuting fraud", and I only received articles about the insurance companies being prosecuted for fraud. The same question about Medicare, brought a string of articles about Medicare prosecuting others for fraud. Maybe I phrased the question wrong? Maybe insurance companies are not that vigilant about fraud, because they know they can always raise premiums to "make their number"? Maybe the insurance companies keep it quiet, so their shareholders don't see upsetting things in the newspaper?
