WHO’S LOOKING AT THE COMPENSATION OF THE HEALTHCARE INSURANCE EXECUTIVES??
The health insurance companies have played a major role in our current healthcare crisis. These companies make huge profits and their CEOs make millions, while the rest of us, employers, and workers alike, face skyrocketing healthcare costs, impossible bureaucracy, and life-threatening insurance denials.
The health insurance companies continue to compensate their executives out of proportion to any known formula. This executive compensation—millions of dollars every year—could be used to provide quality healthcare for millions of Americans.
