Our General Practitioner doctors make half that. I think we can find competent people to do hospital admin jobs for a lot less. 2. Still nothing on a Bezos. 1. And bench-warming athletes make twice that... I don't think the political will is there to pay the PM $2M a year or somesuch. Your point is valid but the "What should people make" idea is fraught with practical problems really. 2. Agreed. Bezos wrote a computer program that knocked 10s of thousands of small businesses out forever. His reward was to be made the wealthiest man in history I guess.

"Good." ? Ok then. 1. I'm pretty sure they'd make a scene and threats. 2. How so? 3. Yes. I hate Pixie-Dust. 4. OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All complaining about the working condition but hey, dangle money in front of their noses and guess what...they come back....to the same working conditions but with more pay.

No one should be making $600,000 for running a hospital. $300,000 is still too much. that is socialist healthcare in any socialist system, the lion share of the funding will end up going to government apparatchiks the purpose of socialist healthcare is to fund socialism, not healthcare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin costs in healthcare are a problem. Americans actually pay more for healthcare but they have the best stuff and the most options. Here in NYC, where I am now, anyone can get a free PCR test on the street. Also they don’t mandate certain care the way we do.

You have to do more than write a sentence to land a point, right ? Here's the USA: "A health care CEO's salary in large American hospitals runs above $1 million a year. A 2019 Forbes report found only eight of 82 nonprofit hospitals paid their CEO less, and some paid as much as $21 million"https://work.chron.com/average-salary-ceo-large-hospital-3693.html 2. You should try to actually focus on solving problems rather than labelling things with scary words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't complain I simply pointed out that the Canadian socialist model is unsustainable a profit motive is required in order to expand the taxpayer cannot actually fund Canada's healthcare, it's eating all the provincial budgets the result is severe shortages of healthcare in Canada and America is not the only alternative, Switzerland, the Netherlands & Israel all have universal private healthcare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
