Bonnie Bleiweiss: Greedy insurers

Regarding the Feb. 27 news article “Blue Cross turns profit despite ACA losses”: The greed of Blue Cross and Blue Shield and other carriers like it is outrageous. Through creative accounting they hide their true profits in reserves and executive pay. Now because they are inept at operating under the ACA, they want to dump millions of policy holders while still turning a profit. No wonder voters are turning to Bernie Sanders.
