I am not being argumentative. We get the history lesson every time. I was making a very reasonable point. It has nothing to do with lectures but a simple principle. I am not saying VHI is making excessive profits. It would be great if it was making a profit. The difficulty we have is that it would put more fat into the system if VHI was obligated to have a 10% return on equity. This would put further pressure on VHI to be lean, efficient and effective - everything the Minister says day in and day out that he wants it to do.
