When you're 1/6 of the economy, 3.5% goes a long way.

Perhaps we should be asking what the profit margin is of the medical
providers and drug companies but they seem to be immune from this

Perhaps we should determine what comes out of "gross profits" to get
down to "net profits," eh? There are many ways a corporation can play
perfectly legal fun and games to lower its net profit dramatically.
