As much as I would love to just dole out cash to everyone, you have to also be a responsible leader. Need to ensure cash cushions are there for operations.

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

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

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 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

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