Calley Means argues that pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and insurers profit when people stay sick. She states that premiums have risen 100% over the past ten years and that healthcare inflation is currently the largest source of inflation in the U.S. Means claims insurers are legally allowed a 15% profit margin but raise premiums to capture 15% of a larger revenue base, resulting in a lack of cost control. She contends this creates an incentive across healthcare industries for more people to be ill for longer periods.
