Some of the very best doctors make $200,000 or more per year but CEOs of health insurance agencies take in tens of millions. What is wrong with that picture? From my perspective, the doctor is getting shortchanged. He has spent years studying to gain the skills necessary to be a doctor of medicine; but ,doctors aren't at the top of the food chain in the healthcare system as far as earning power is concerned.
CEOs, some with an associate or bachelor's degree, sit at the top of the pyramid
enjoying the lion's share for being good at gaming the system. These thieves do nothing to improve healthcare delivery and have no incentive to do anything but get as many healthy people to pay into the system and to discourage as many sick applicants as they can,, Despite the colorful and flowery message seen in their brochures to bait you, they really don't care about you.
In a totally free market healthcare system there would be no government subsidies to keep such a system afloat nor a middle man known as an insurer. Consider that carefully. If everyone had to pay for healthcare out of their pockets, 80 % of the population would face financial ruin from one catastrophic illness or injury. In effect, the "Law of the Jungle" would dominate healthcare where only the economically fit would survive.
