Isn't this what we really need in Health Care Reform?

Asked by Cruiser (40449points) March 17th, 2010

Blue Cross’s top exec’s got an average 48% increase in compensation last year! HS! How much money do these people really need? I understand keeping the best and the brightest but this is a non-profit company!! No wonder our premiums go up 30% a year! I was upset before but now I am really pissed!

Should these execs be paid in the millions to run a non-profit company when we are paying insurance premiums as high as they are these days? Isn’t this where we should be focusing our attention for health care reform??

“Patricia Hemingway Hall, CEO of Health Care Service Corp., saw her total compensation jump 62% in 2009, to $8.7 million, according to a recent company regulatory filing. Predecessor Ray McCaskey’s $15.7-million payment was bonus compensation built up in the years preceding his 2008 retirement. Aetna CEO Ronald Williams’ $24.3 million.
