My2Cents – Big Oil Profits

Posted by William A. Manning On 5/12/2011 10:44:00 AM

Lately we've been hearing about how much companies make. Here is a list of 215 industries and their "Net Profit Margin". This list is from today and can be found on Yahoo.

Today, Congress is grilling BIG OIL on their profits. Do you think they make too much? If you do, on every dollar they bring in, how much do you think is profit? 25cents? 50cents? Nope. 6.2cents.

Obama Care is supposed to lower costs, but how do you lower costs on hospitals when they only make 5cents on every dollar they bring in? How do you have insurance companies lower costs and pay for more services when they make 4.4cents on every dollar? Doctors are supposed to cut cost, but that would be hard to do when they only make 3.6cents from every dollar they bring in.

How do you lower costs on drugs when Medical Laboratories & Research lose 2.3cents? Wholesale drug industry only makes a penny for every dollar brought it. The Medical Instruments & Supplies and

Drug Manufacturers industries make a profit of between 13.6cents and 15.4cents.

I have noticed something though. There is a field that would benefit under Obama Care. After looking though this a few times, did you notice it? Healthcare Information Services. What company benefits the most? GE.

Barack Obama and the Democratic Party want to go after "those greedy" oil companies, health insurance companies, drug companies, doctors and hospitals all the while padding the pockets of their campaign financiers. Its power hungry politicians that allow the "greedy" companies to become "Too big to fail" and rob taxpayers through the use of subsidies.
