Ponder on this:
Regina Benjamin was nominated by President Obama to be our next surgeon general. But more important, she’s a country doctor, a family physician along the Gulf Coast of Alabama, serving the poor and uninsured. Many of the folks in Regina Benjamin’s bayou town are so poor that sometimes she’s paid with a pint of oysters or a couple of fish. She buys medicine for her patients out of her own pocket, and she makes house calls.
H. Edward Hanway, the Chairman and CEO of Cigna, the country’s fourth largest insurance company. At the beginning of the year, Cigna blamed hard economic times when it announced the layoff of 1,100 employees. But it reported first quarter profits of $208 million on revenues of $4 billion. Mr. Hanway made $11.4 million dollars in 2008.
Ron Williams, the CEO of Aetna Insurance made more than $17 million dollars last year.
John Hammergren, the head of McKesson, the biggest health care company in the world, made nearly $30 million.
