Remember these numbers as they:
- Raise your insurance rates
- Refuse to be transparent on hospital prices
- Cut nursing staff
- Replace doctors with non-doctors
- Cry poormouth
Of course. That’s how they make their $$$$
I, being a wonderful and kind and generous person, hereby offer to do any of their jobs – for half what they are making. Ain’t I great!
The publicity releases contrasting Witty’s pay with the situation of docs who still are not getting paid by United Change Healthcare write themselves – but the AAFP still says nothing about that disaster.
AAFP = Academic A-holes and Freaking Preeks (trying to avoid the censoring software) Use your imaginations now.
Get this to the national news please!
LOL. They know. They are all being paid by them via ads so they say nothing. But feel free to share this post.
Just reading this post makes a great argument for a national health care system…
Nah. A true Free Market System would be better.
Sickening, just sickening……
For us baby boomers The health care executives were the people who’ve run able to get into medical school or burned out and looked for an easy route after entering practice. Just like the football coaches they went into it and were drawn into it with much lower salaries. But just like football coaches it exploded not based on talent or skills but just because they could demand compensation
Remember the CEO of United Healthcare became a billionaire yet he was a failed pulmonologist who found it too hard of work.
