UnitedHealthcare CEO Stephen Hemsley owns $744,232,068 in unexercised stock options. CIGNAs Edward Hanway spends his holidays in a $13 million beach house in New Jersey. Meanwhile, regular Americans are routinely denied coverage for the care they need when they need it most.

Welcome to the American health insurance industry. Instead of helping policyholders attain the health security they need for their families, big insurance companies get rich by denying coverage to patients. Now theyre sending lobbyists to Washington, DC to twist the arms of lawmakers to oppose reform of the status quo. Why? Because the status quo pays.

Learn more about the glamorous lives of billionaire health insurance executives and tell us your story of being victimized by their greed. Then contribute to Brave New Films so we can continue to get the word out about the health insurance racket.

  • That's what it takes to be number 1 economy: profit over people (N. Chomsky). Until the real weaknesses of the society are seriously adressed (number 1: stupidity (R. Shenkman), number 2: illusion of freedom and democracy (N.C.)), the top 1 percent will get richer and richer, the bottom 80 percent will deal with unemployment, sickness, no health coverage denial and death. Is doesn't take to be a socialist to to actually love a well functionning society.

  • Look how "They" are trying to prevent us from having an option! Sad how republicans are only republican if it fills their pocketbook. A real republican should want the public option. They don't want you to keep CEO's from making money but they want to keep us from saving it. Bastards.

  • Free money from your purses to the bigger scam of all times INSURANCEs(PRIVATE),they are the real parasite of our societey and they are protected by all govt controlling your behaviours

  • why shoulc the drug and insurance company's be included in the debate and help find a solution when their only concern are their profits? i would think that the reporter would know that and not imply that they should be part of the solution
