people, whatever "serve" means.

That works out to 22 cents per person annually toward the CEO's pay.

If you added up the CEO pay for all the major plans, it wouldn't even cover the annual premium for 30,000 people.

I'm a lot more concerned about how good their company is in running a decent health care company since it appears single payer or a public option will be a long time coming whether or not we have a Democrat for Prez. We are going to be living with these companies, whether we like it or not.
