>Let me share with you another "little" piece of the puzzle that adds to the cost of health-care. I know many people who work as programmers, developers, DBA, (techies) for insurance companies. Each probably makes at minimum $100,000. Each, for sure, spends 50% of the time (or more) at work browsing the web, checking personal email, participating in political discussions on UT <g>, checking their investment portfolios, etc.

OTOH, nobody else does that, only programmers.

Just one huge savings?

(Really, nobody so far was able to explain to me how did "savings" become singular)
