BC/BS partners live behind the wall of fiction that they are “nonprofits”, which is laughable.

Thus they are always susceptible to Government blackmail and threats to kick the door down and show the public just how profitably nonprofit they are.

It’s a capitalist country and making profit is fine. Just don’t lie and hide behind the “nonprofit” moniker while claiming tax-exempt status.

Just don’t lie and hide behind the “nonprofit” moniker while claiming tax-exempt status.

I understand your point, and it is best rto think of it as a legalism. If we had to make ANYone be honest about it, I'd start with Yale, Harvard and Princeton, with tens of billions in "endowments".
