Out of the 14 cents for Drugs - I wonder how much of that is profits.

I work for a heart insurer and will vouch for this. Most people believe we’re making tons of money but we spend about 87 cents of every dollar on health costs. Much of that goes to fix up people who haven’t taken care of their bodies- obesity, smoking, alcohol, drugs, poorly treated hypertension, neglected health screenings.

Very interesting chart. Inpatient/Outpatient costs basically means hospital costs, I guess, but I wonder if it also includes some of the other categories.

While a third of the insurance dollar goes to physicians, remember every practice has significant overhead.
