You should add
- doctors are paid higher in the US than in another countries
- billing staff overhead because of the insane insurance system
- highly paid hospital administration
- lots of middlemen that stay invisible because there is no price transparency
- shiny new buildings that are built by friends of the hospital administration
- excannuck 6y ago"billing staff overhead because of the insane insurance system" While true, I would generalize to "insane bureaucratic system" unless you want to include public "insurance" into the mix. Medicaid and Medicare aren't simple!
- ArtDev 6y agoLook up the salary of your local hospital president. In my medium town of (Pop 200K) they pay him $980k per year. That is an absurd salary for a relatively small hospital!
- therealdrag0 6y agoHow do I look that up?
- huitzitziltzin 6y agoAFAIK, certain non-profits are required to report the salaries of their ten highest paid employees. Doesn't mean it will be easy to find, but you might be able to find it that way. But this is not information the hospital would share w/ you w/ great enthusiasm, obviously.
