Why is insurance so much?

$198 million, that is a lot of money, which is why Anthem/Wellpoint was trying to avoid paying it to doctors and hospitals. Money it owed for services that had been rendered to patients. You know, you and me. But instead these insurance companies were trying to keep it for themselves, which makes sense when you consider their CEO, Larry Glasscock made $45 million last year.

It makes you wonder why then with all the concern the GOP has over the cost of malpractice suites, they don't seem to think $198 million is a big deal. They would rather lowball a family over the loss of a loved one then force greedy insurance companies to pay up.

Just whose side are they on? And whose values are they extolling? Greed is a deadly sin, or has the GOP forgotten that?
