    That's just stock buy backs. For all the publicly traded insurers, what was their total profit?

      I would go further and look at overall payroll but more specifically executive compensation proportional to the NHS. There's no way we're not waiting additional billions on people who's job it is to make the system 'profitable.'

      Considering companies don't really want to show a big profit on their balance sheets, it's not a great indicator.

        Sure, but profits distributed + stock buy backs is going to be bigger and represents a direct transfer from the masses to the bourgeoisie. Then as another commenter stated, dig into compensation for top executives who we can identify are bourgeois and add that in.

        That still misses a bunch of money that flows out in the form of contracts to other member of the bourgeoisie, but it should be able o show us a good number that we can use to explain to the masses how much they're being robbed.
