What's fair compensation for the skilled professional who administers a $50B organization?

Your proposed alternative to corporate healthcare is what? Government-run healthcare? How does that solve the problem of a single entity being able to unilaterally raise prices or restrict coverage, or allow patients flexibility to change their hospital in an emergency?

Are you claiming that government-run healthcare will make better decisions at minimizing cost than private healthcare? What other industry have you found the government to be better at minimizing cost than the private sector?

Medicare has overhead of just 3%.

Last I checked, that's leaps and bounds better than private insurers.

You were saying?
