    Net margin is the percentage of revenue remaining after all operating expenses, interest, taxes and preferred stock dividends (but not common stock dividends) have been deducted from a company's total revenue.

    Try telling that to the IRS!

    :roflol:

    Any earnings in excess of costs, expenses and taxes is profit!

    :roflol:

    FTR Google's profit margin is only 20%!

    https://ycharts.com/companies/GOOG/profit_margin

    HCA is 8.65%

    Once again your posts reflect that you are out of your depth in this discussion.

    Regurgitating the Wall Street Casino Bosses demands is why We the People need to remove shareholders from healthcare or the costs will ALWAYS be rising to feed the greed instead help the sick.

    Just more evidence as to why the private healthcare insurers should not have shareholders because they can't meet the demands of the Wall Street Casino Bosses.

    It's not wall street. It's an influx of money into the industry for the last 40 or so years from the government and the insurance companies. It's really simple. It's right there screaming at you.

    That is what you are calling "charity care"?

    Grady Memorial hospital in Atlanta provided $220 million in charity care for indigents and the poor last year.

    Well there you go, chatholic hospitals probably provide a lot too. But with the costs being so high due to all the money in the game it makes it hard.

    They'll be campaign ads in 2 years. 'Trump promised you the world and left you out in the cold" vote Chuck Schumer. Like Trump voters are children who don't know how Washington works.

    More money in a market makes prices higher. It's pretty simple. It happens in every economy on the planet.

    Now you have blundered off into inflation! :eek:

    The rise in healthcare prices have exceeded the inflation rate by orders of magnitude so there is no correlation whatsoever to this topic.

    Rising healthcare costs have far exceeded inflation over the past 25 years.. What does any of that have to do with Switzerland?
