I don’t see insurance company executives compensated any more than other large company executives. If anything, insurance companies are more conservative.
This is peculiar US thing where anything said against doctor is taken as personal slight. All healthcare issues have been caused by insurance, government, bureaucracy or anyone except doctors.
Health care insurance CEOs are paid well, and better than others in that system. [0]
Insurance companies in general are generous with their CEOs. Total compensation for CEO of Allstate was $42 million in 2010 (last time I checked them).
Right, it's about the health care industry, which includes insurance companies and other segments of the industry. It shows that health insurance CEOs are paid better than CEOs from other segments of the industry. It is in response to the assertion that insurance execs are compensated more conservatively than execs from other large companies, specifically compared to segments of the same industry.
