That's up to the boards of directors of the given companies....What you "think" (for lack of a better term) they deserve to be paid is irrelevant.If anyone has no clue on how it works, it's you.
The CEOs aren't autocrats, who have an unlimited access to the funds of the company.
The rise in rates is primarily in response to the strong future possibility that they're going to have to cover the medical expenses of deadbeats, who haven't paid in a dime until they got sick or injured.
Anyone with even the most rudimentary understanding of how business and the corporate worlds work, which obviously excludes you, can clearly see this.
I'm put up links.
I didn't see yours.
How do you think a salary of over a hundred million dollars "happened"? Do they "deserve" them for making such a "small" profit?
Of course I predicted this years ago.
And commented on it recently.
The Health care reform act was set up by lobbyists to benefit the most the industry that it was supposed to regulate.
Who should be suprised at this?
I agree. I'm really mad at those fucking assholes who blocked single payer and worked against helping Obama create the kind of reform we really needed. The assholes.
Oh, wait,
That's not what you meant?
The Question you should be asking. Is if this bill is not what he really wanted, and is not going to work to do the things that need to be done.
WHY THE FUCK DID HE SIGN IT.

Like I already said, CEOs aren't autocrats with unlimited access to the company's bank accounts.
But feel free to carry on with your unvarnished paycheck envy...It's rather amusing.

The entire Republican Party voted against it as well as a few Blue dogs. That's Republicans sheep in "dog's clothing". It was watered down until it could be passed. To a thirsty man, a half a cup of water is better than none at all.

So a 136 million dollar salary gleaned from "skimming" tens of thousands of insurance policies paid for by hard working Americans is "amusing"?
Do you know the meaning of the word, "Ethics"? Just kidding. Forget I said anything.

No, your foaming-at-the-mouth moonbattery is endlessly amusing.
That "skimming" accusation some kind of charge...Have any proof to back up your alligator mouth?
Executives at health insurance giants cash in as firms plan fee hikes
Leaders of Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealth, WellPoint and Aetna received nearly $200 million in compensation in 2009, according to a report, while the companies sought rate increases as high as 39%.
H. Edward Hanway, former chief executive of Philadelphia-based Cigna, topped the list of high-paid executives, thanks to a retirement package worth $110.9 million. Cigna paid Hanway and his successor, David Cordani, a total of $136.3 million last year.
Only one executive in the list actually saw his paycheck shrink last year: Ron Williams, the CEO of Hartford, Conn.-based Aetna Inc., earned nearly $18.2 million in total compensation, down from $24.4 million in 2008.

Oooh, thanks for the links. While you're at it, can you put up links of where hundred million dollar salaries fit in? How many policies does it take to make a hundred million dollar salary? Do you have a link to that?
Soooooo, the reason for record profits and CEO's record paychecks is because people put their collage age kids on their insurance policies?
Another example of right wing voodoo economics.
That's the difference between me and a Republican. I'm appalled at someone who would do that to other Americans. They applaud someone who would do that to other Americans.
But the biggest cost of all, the policy holders are paying for, is going to "lobbyists" in congress. So laws can be changed and Health Care "deregulated" so they can squeeze every cent out of the system and skim policies. Everything neat, tidy and perfectly legal.

Hey, if the right hates commies and socialist so much, why are they always shipping American jobs off to China and other communist/socialist countries. Are they just using the commies to scare Americans? 'Cuz they sure like doing business with them.
There must be some. But they are covert. Not like Republicans who seem to hate this country and especially the middle class.
......geezus Dean....do you realise how your hatred for a fucking party makes you sound?......there are many of your fellow fringers here on the right who hate the Democrats.....but NOBODY on this board sounds as obsessed with this shit like you do Dean.....NOBODY.....seek help...dam you must be a miserable person to be around....
