Have you actually checked any of these numbers?

What do you imagine is the profit margin of a health insurance company?

According to this report by the national association of state regulators, the profit margin of the health insurance industry in 2023 was 3%, or $25 billion.

Compared to over $1T of premiums, and over $4T of total healthcare spending in the US, that doesn't seem "staggering" to me.
