IHC executive comp - going down that rabbit hole is pretty sickening haha

Seems like if that is what similarly situated execs in other industries are

I don't disagree. Being a healthcare administrator is the way to go.

Because they keep telling the medical professionals that work for IH that

IHC is a nonprofit that was originally founded by the Church donating assets.

Even if it’s a nonprofit, it’s competing for talent with for profit companies

Some of the education of the executive leadership team - SUPER talented folks

Yeah, I’m not defending IHC in particular as I’m not familiar with them at all.

CEO pay is divorced from performance. It's a joke. And a racket.

All non-profit means is you have to spend all your revenue.

And they do that well - on executive salaries.

I know it’s a stupid designation.

Does capitalism restrict who can be an owner of a company? Or how much certain

Yes it does. Like it or not. We are not a socialist country.

lol, the skill set of a decent CEO is not 1/10,000 times as rare as a decent NFL QB

I am not an MBA type and I have no idea what makes CEOs so special that they can command $10 million/year.

Short answer: nothing

Just check out the Boeing and executive team!

I’m not defending the compensation. I think CEOs are paid too much, just like professional athletes.

Except healthcare admin is generally worthless.

That's because they are IH. They no longer care.

My healthcare company has seen a spike of over 100% in our AR b/c of the attack.

That’s kind of naive. Corporate healthcare has a lot of docs in a tough spot.
