Health Insurance Companies Invest Billions in Fast Food Chains
Dr. Mercola
Dr. Pauline Rosenau, a professor of management, policy, and community health, said the investments were not ethical.
Rosenau point out that, "They are placing themselves in a situation of substantial conflict of interest ... As long as insurers are largely private, for-profit entities, they are unlikely to identify with a public health orientation."
The stock in the five leading fast food companies represents slightly above 2 percent of the total market capitalization of the insurance companies in question.
