It’s even more than that.

Bottle of aspirin costs the store(hospital) $10

Hospital bills insurance $1000 for bottle of Aspirin

Insurance pays hospital $100 for bottle of Aspirin, charges customer $400 ‘co-pay’

Hospital takes ‘loss’ of $900 on accounting and taxes (but in reality made 90$ tax free, 90% profit)

Insurance makes $300 risk free premium off customer co-pay

This is the modern medical insurance fraud

Then 0 came along and made it if you didn't buy into the scam, you'd be penalized on your taxes.

Thank you! I recognized a game of 3 card monty when I saw it, but didn't know the basics of how it was done.
