400% MORE THAN BIG PHARMA... not surprising, and they are never in the headlines, except, I remember, way back, there was some disaster or the other and Lloyds a large very old UK insurance co. had to fork out an awful lot, and apparently it really hurt some of their poor very rich investors.

What I know personally about insurance companies, and it put me right off the stuff from every angle, is when I hit a hard patch in my self employed life and went for a job at such a company. The training felt like I'd entered some kind of religious organisation... I was reverently handed a thick book of all the dos and don'ts, had to read it from front to back, most important, one had to instil fear in ones proposed clients, accidents, illness, the sky falling on their heads, any angle would do, because that gets the customers. fear, fear, fear, but we are there to protect you! After reading it I wanted to vomit and walked out without the job.

It must be like that for some army recruits who thought they were going to be heroes defending their country, till they find out they're just bits of cannon fodder for large profiteering corporations hand in glove with well paid governments.

That isn't startling at all.
