Hi [_evalution],
So, while more and more people cannot access or pay for health care, and while
hospitals are struggling with the increasing numbers of people who cannot pay for
health care, Oregon insurance companies are raking in record profits. Hmmm.
Thought you might find the following article interesting. It's part of an email
sent out to PeaceHealth employees this morning.
Love, Mama
Oregon Health Insurance Profits Soar <http://www.thelundreport.org/print/432>
Oregon's eight largest domiciled insurers covered 160,000 fewer people and made more
profit in the first quarter of this year than in any quarter in more than two years.
Leading the pack was Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon, which shed 118,000
members from last year and raked in $29.2 million in net income so far this year
alone. The figure shatters earnings over the entire last year of $21.9 million for
Regence.
