Total profits for US health insurance companies in 2025 were $50 billion. The other $950 billion has got to come from cutting:

1. money to providers

2. overall healthcare consumption

3. bureaucratic redundancy and waste

1 is going to piss off medical providers. 2 is going to piss of the general public. 3 is going to piss off the 20 million healthcare industry workers who are not direct care providers. So pick your poison. This is why it will never pass.
