They also had a net loss of $13.7 billion (!) in 2022. Yes, you read that right. [1]
They had a $429 million net loss in 2021.
I'll be honest, I don't understand what "non-cash goodwill impairment" is that leads to losses that are almost 6x revenue. In any case, the company seems to already be losing plenty of money without the FTC needing to lift a finger...?
The only way they have to sustain $277 million in expenses is if those are fixed costs. I suspect that a lot of them are variable costs that are dependent upon a few scaleable independent variables. That being said, their profit margin does seem unnervingly low.

What impresses me is what is left out of the link title on this and what Leo says in the video.
"We have about $350,000 in expenses and $1.5 in revenue and that's doubling every year. The revenue, not the expenses the costs in this are fairly static." (Emphasis Mine)
That's amazing, when I heard this it made my jaw drop.
Any source to back that up? A quick Google only got me their revenue, which is a cool 20 billion. Though their costs are undoubtedly high, I'd guess they're making a nice profit.
IIRC, it's 15%, meaning that they can only have $675,000,000,000.00 in profits.
That is $675,000,000,000.00 they can take from us and instead of using for healthcare or even healthcare administration, it's just additional money that they took.
Am I looking at their expense chart correctly .... it appears their monthly operating expenses is ~$100k/month ($1.2M annualized) and he states their revenue is $11m/year.
Are they banking ~$10M/yearly in profit and have 95%+ margins?
When their annual revenue is $368 billion and their net income is $95 billion (in 2021), a couple hundred million dollars doesn’t really move the needle.
Well, according to [0], Aetna's revenue in Q3 2018 was $15.5 billion - so, extrapolating, their yearly revenue was something on the order of 60 billion dollars, of which that 500 million you mention is just 0.8%. Also, some of that $500M is in stock, not cash.
..how is this possible? Doesn't this suggest that Teladoc can cover their expenses pretty well via revenue (because how else are they in business?)
