The president od my small local hospital is paid $985,000 per year. I looked it up. My local hospital also cuts lots of corners to save a buck. I know some nurses who work there. They understaff while they overcharge patients and play absurd games with billing. I think this is pretty normal in the US. The ratio of hospital beds to population is unusually small for a developed country. As soon as my kids are a little older, I am getting out of this country. I am healthy now but as I get older I get more concerned about getting caught in the US healthcare system. |

The CEO of a small local tech company is paid $10m per year. I looked it up.
> “my local hospital doesn’t allocate resources right”
Not surprising. Resource allocation is a difficult problem. Perhaps the hospital would be better off with limits on what they are allowed to pay people like you seem to be suggesting, but I doubt it.
To me this is all fundamentally a sign the USA doesn’t spend enough on health care. I don’t have confidence price controls and nationalization will improve matters.
