RI legislature may limit non-profit hospital execs' pay
Comments
Thank you, Senators. The idea of making huge profits from health care breeds misuse of power and greed rather than putting those huge amounts of money back into the system where it is needed. With setting limits at a modest salary per year for executives, I do believe it will draw those who really care about helping others. There is no need for an executive to make these outrageous amounts. Are these executives working 12 and 16 hour days like the front line health care workers getting their hands dirty? Not at all. Having worked in this profession for so long, they all sit in their ivy towers figuring out how to make continuous cuts that lower the quality of care patients receive so they can all maintain their huge salaries! If those millions were put back into more emphasis with keeping our hospitals clean, maybe we would not have so many deadly infections that patients pick up in every hospital because of poor staffing and insufficient housekeeping.
