Par for the couse for this abject Marxist. Any profit is immoral according to these annointed ones...they must take it all and then reallocate it themselves.
Just like the Obamanation.
They are treading on ground that is infirm and prone to complete cave ins and grave consequences.

She’s just angry with the entire medical industry, and with very good reason, about the “bug-eye” plastic surgery. Anyone would be, frankly.

What on earth is the phrase “immoral profits” even supposed to mean?

The government has a profit margin of 100%. Even higher since they print their own money when they want to.

"Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi accused health insurance companies of making "immoral profits" on PBS' "Newshour." "They're making billions of dollars in profits while they're cutting off people for benefits," she added."
A common battle cry of Communists.

Yet they make so much less than her Hollywood lap dogs. BTW, we have not heard much from them lately. Will the movie industry ever be vilified for being immoral? Nope.

Bela Pelosi added an amendment to the bill that increased the minimum wage. It exempted Guam from the increase. Starkist fishing operations are headquartered there. Guess who has a large holding in Starkist. IMMORAL PROFITS???

Hey Nancy!
Is it “immoral” to:
-Guarantee slave wages for illegal immigrants, rather than providing the means to assimilate into American society, which is far more racist than pretending to respect their culture,
-Give everybody an insurance card and pretend it’s providing healthcare,
-Devalue life through abortion, euthanasia, and the restricted availability of real healthcare?

Well, if anyone knows “immoral profits,” (and most likely illegal profits, on the backs of taxpayers), it would be Pelosi.

If health insurance companies are making such profits it begs the question why more investor don't start new health insurance companies, undercut everyone else and take all the business?....
Fair bet it's government regs that make lower cost competition impossible or the real profit margin is not what the Queen Bee is saying

Just because it is a "private company" doesn't mean it is "free market." Congress can actually pass some laws to break that and lower costs and increase choice and competition, but they won't...it would make sense, and would actually be constitutional in the cases where insurance companies could be allowed to sell policies across state lines.

It is always about CONTROL with these LibTards. SanFranNan and her hubby make millions every year. Is that ‘immoral’, too?
It’s time to take back the country.
