Who "Controls" Our Health Care Companies?

This page is to help determine who really controls the 10 major health care companies in the United States. Again, it turned out very interesting. Nothing has really changed since 1889 when the Great Red Dragon book was published. Except that a greater amount of power has been concentrated into fewer hands.

The point is, control of American companies is rapidly being consolidated into a few foreign hands, and they are also doing so at "frantic" pace. Damn any of the promises that had been made earlier, such as retirement benefits, health care and pensions. Any why are they doing this? To "own the earth in fee simple."

You can do the same lookup on any public corporation and see for yourself who owns what. You will also see that some of the major holders are nothing more than a "front" for a another more powerful group. Simply find out who the major holders of the major holders are and you will see for yourself. Their idea is simply to make it easier to deceive the public.

While doing this, remember that it takes only 10% of the stock to "control" a large widely-held corporation. Especially when management and insiders show little or zero ownership. They, as hirelings, simply take their marching orders and their large paychecks, and everybody else be damned. If they show any conscience about what happens to their employees or customer base, they will simply be removed, then replaced, by another, more "aggressive leader."

Another problem we're facing now is the growth of private-equity groups, which don't have to make the same disclosures as the publicly-held groups. This is why they keep gaining up on the SEC to "prevent" disclosure and accountability. I have no illusions that they are simply "Snakes In different-colored Suits."

One last thing: If you found this information valuable, please help support this site.
