Over the past 20 years the cost of health insurance premiums has gone way up.
Over the past 20 years the amount of money health insurance companies pay to doctors and hospitals has gone way down.
The difference, the margin, insurance companies are getting is at an all time high.

Insurance companies make more money by denying claims or not paying claims. Insurance companies have a very powerful lobby.
This is a really big problem.
