>> You really should address whether CEO salaries and corporate profits are very significant to the overall health care industry, which is an enormous industry. I doubt they are. When you take into account the service they provide (efficient finance of half of our health care system), it is dirt cheap. The top 5 insurance companies last year took home something like 12 Billion -- 0.5% of the cost of the health care system. Many of the larger organizations are not-for-profits, and many others lost money.
