Well lets talk about health care today shall we. Check out these startling facts. The average 2006 compensation for health and disability insurance CEO'S WAS $8,747,914, AND THE AVERAGE PHARMACEUTICAL CEO PULLED DOWN $4,355,834. These are not the worst figures though.
Aetna inc. CEO (Ronald Williams) $32,158,245.
Wellpoint inc. CEO (Larry Glasscock) $19,146,675.
CIGNA corp. CEO (H.Edward Hanway) $15,857,323.
Schering-Plough Corp. CEO (Fred Hassan) $25,620,197.
Wyeth CEO (Robert Essner) $22,934,782.
Abbott Laboratories CEO (Miles White) $22,493,447.

Now in addition to this health care premiums have gone up 3 times faster than the cost of living has. (Kaiser Family Foundation HRET Employer Health Benefits Survey).
So how can we support a new health care system with figures like these. If we reduced the CEO'S pay down to 1 million a year each health care could be funded to all. I'm sure these are all buds of the O man. What a sorry person he is. I hope we can stop him or else he is going to pass some stupid program even without total support from congress.
