      There is no law that they must refund anything. They already have the money.

        I’m… baffled that there’s now 3 of you trying to answer my question who don’t even know the absolute basics of the subject matter…

        This is all starting to make a lot more sense now.

          What’s baffling is that you’re not stopping to consider that you might be the confused one, rather than literally everybody else.

                So you genuinely don’t know the basics of the subject matter. Why did you reply with a guess?

          Are you talking about the 80/20 rule? https://www.healthcare.gov/health-care-law-protections/rate-review/

              They do the same math fraud that movie producers do as well as 20% is a lot of profit.

                  We told you there’s no law that dictates a rebate for all unspent money. Even if they follow the 80/20 law to the letter, they’re still going to try to maximize profit, and would strive to spend not a single cent over that 80%.

                    Yes I know you all told me that, which is why I said I was baffled at how many of you tried to answer the question without knowing the basic subject matter.
