Please cite you sources thanks. how do health insurance companies make make money? What kind of problems are health insurance companies facing?
--------------------
Health insurance companies make the majority of their money, from investment income from the "reserves" they invest. They only make about 2% off of the premiums they charge to their policyholders. The biggest problems, are increasing claims costs, increasing medical identity fraud, and increasing governmental regulation.
