Health care executives’ paychecks ample, but warranted, industry officials sayIn all of the hoopla over rising health care costs, one basic fact often gets overlooked: Medical care is a labor-intensive industry that requires a broad spectrum of highly trained professionals.

“Executives of the five health care organizations declined to be interviewed about their compensation policies for executives and physicians.”
Check those salaries out. This is an outrage when people go bankrupt for getting sick every day in the good old USA.
Insurance companies have no business being in the health industry.

Good call Jeff.
Maybe we should hurry up and turn to Socialism. Nothing better than the Govt providing for us all equally regardless of our societal input. These silly bums that go to college for an additional 7 to 10 years after high school dont deserve to receive a higher pay than the guy who sweeps the floor. It was their silly choice to put forth that extra energy… what a waste. Im sure the govt can manage to create a whole bunch of good quality doctors with minimal effort and education. Who cares if a few extra people die right? as long as its cheap for the rest of us. Always thought Capitalism was overated anyways, who ever thought that people should have the right to make a life of their choosing was nuts. you make more friends in the bread line anyways. The Soviets always seemed so happy.
