I guess the claim is true. but its not very meaningful. Add up all the health insurance companies CEO's salaries, and it will be a very insignificant portion of total health care costs. Even toss in their stock option earnings (which perhaps shouldn't be counted because its a cost in dilution to the investors not a direct hit on the companies earnings), and its still tiny. There may be an issue of these CEOs being over-payed, but only an issue for the stockholders, not an issue that's very relevant to the national debate on health care.
