Your own business or a business that was started from zero? Go ahead. Government funded/ obligated business? 1 mil per year max. I'd even say 200k max. Isn't 200 k enough to live a comfortable life? When you wanna get ahead and earn more you can use your Government ceo experience to level up. But Government-obliged functions shouldn't be businesses to begin with!
I am not from the US ,but oh lord I felt the public's outrage inmy heart and soul.
If we stand aside and slowly die, we might as well die for a ccause. That's how the entire map was created; through blood and balls from those willing to either conquer or defend.
Blaming the CEO of a health insurance company oversimplifies a deeply complex issue. Healthcare is broken due to misaligned incentives, high premiums for small business owners, denials, rising pharmaceutical costs, and more. Healthcare also isn’t free, and the same way you likely wouldn’t work for free, neither would others in our healthcare system. Real change requires deep, conceptual reforms, not cosmetic fixes. What’s even more troubling is the celebration of a man’s death, as while he was the CEO, this wasn’t his company, and CEOs are beholden to shareholders, boards, and investors, meaning the issues at hand span well beyond the CEO…
The real obstacle is the paralysis of the political system, driven by issues like gerrymandering, primaries, media that reinforces its audience’s biases, and social media users who spread false information without skepticism. Until these factors change, progress will remain out of reach, and people will continue focusing on blame instead of solutions.
In Canada, more than 70% of healthcare spending is publicly funded through general tax revenues, with provinces and territories covering 78% of the cost while the federal government covers the rest. Essentially, healthcare is 'free' in the same way public education is, and in 2022, the system spent an average of about $8,563 per Canadian on healthcare. There can still be out-of-pocket costs for things like prescription drugs, dental care, and certain medical devices, depending on the province but your employer usually covers those.
