If we're blaming Medicaid being unsustainable on nursing homes and rural hospitals existing, can we at least think about maybe bringing the salary of LCMC's CEO into the discussion? (toad.social)

I see this has a lot of back and forth, but you're right. While ceo wages are high, the largest issue with wealth inequality goes beyond just wages (usually stock/ownership, etc.)

If you look, many CEOs don't get most of their wealth from salary. It's the same reason Trump was "willing" to take a $1 salary for president, the grift is happening elsewhere.

Exactly the grift/graft isn't their pay necessarily.
