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.
