Whenever I'm evangelizing the PPACA, I always hit on the regulations around the MLR - the "medical loss ratio", ie, what percentage of premiums are paid back out as medical claims.
One insurance company had a plan with a ten-percent MLR! (Marketing plans that didn't cover anything to college kids, of course.) They took in premiums and kept ninety-percent of it as profit.
