The richest year was 2015, when 70 health care CEOs collectively made $2
billion. That was an average of about $28.5 million per CEO and a median of
about $17.3 million per CEO. The median household income in 2015 was $56,515

he sky-high pay of health care CEOs
The CEOs of 70 of the largest U.S. health care companies cumulatively have
earned $9.8 billion in the seven years since the Affordable Care Act was
passed, and their earnings have grown faster than most Americans' during
that time, according to an Axios analysis of federal financial documents.
Why it matters: The ACA has not hurt the health care industry. Stock prices
have boomed, and CEOs took home nearly 11% more money on average every year
since 2010 — far outstripping the wage growth of nearly all Americans. But
the analysis also reveals that the pay packages for the country's
influential health care executives don't give them incentives to control
health care spending — something that economists, policymakers and even
Warren Buffett have said is the most pressing problem in health care.

What we found: Total earnings amount to an average of $20 million (median of
$11 million) per CEO per year. A vast majority of pay came in the form of
vested stock.
The largest haul: John Martin, former CEO of the pharmaceutical company
Gilead Sciences, made $863 million in the ACA era — the most of any health
care CEO.
The big takeaway: Health care inflation continues to blow away general
economic inflation, and a big reason why is because health care executives
are not paid to slow spending.
What the analysis covers: The total CEO compensation (salary, bonuses, stock
, perks and retirement/severance when relevant) each year since 2010, when
the ACA went into effect, based on company filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
These 70 corporations were chosen because they are based in the United
States and are among the largest publicly traded health care companies,
together encompassing more than $2 trillion of annual revenue. It did not
include the generous pay packages of not-for-profit hospital CEOs.
Our unique tabulation: We calculated the actual realized gains of CEOs'
stock options and awards (money that they had to pay taxes on), not the
estimated fair value of their stock shown in the federal filings' summary
compensation tables.
The estimated value of stock is misleading and does not accurately depict
how much a person made in a given year.
Actual realized gains show that CEOs are making a lot more than headlines
suggest.
William Lazonick, an economist at the University of Massachusetts Lowell,
and Matthew Hopkins, a senior researcher at the nonprofit Academic-Industry
Research Network, reviewed the analysis for accuracy. They have written
extensively about corporate executive compensation and why actual realized
stock gains matter.
"What is the relationship between their high pay and the role of stock
prices in their high pay and the problems of the health care system?"
Lazonick said. "There is a very close relationship, but it's not apparent to
most people."
The stock story: A gigantic portion of what CEOs make comes in the form of
vested stock, and those incentives drive their decision-making. The analysis
shows that since the ACA was passed, health care executives routinely took
measures to inflate stock prices — such as repurchasing shares or issuing
dividends to shareholders — that led to higher take-home pay.
Stock-heavy pay also drives CEOs to do the exact opposite of their buzzword-
laden goals of creating a "patient-centered" health system that focuses on "
value."
Actions that would benefit the broader health care system:
Lower prices
Eliminate unnecessary procedures, tests or devices
Coordinate care
Instead, CEOs often focus on what benefits the stock price:
Sell more prescription drugs
Perform more procedures and tests
Create new medical therapies that may not add value to someone's life
Raise prices above inflation
Do anything to create higher earnings per share
Here are the other main takeaways from the analysis:
Of the 113 health care CEOs in the analysis, only four were women. Two women
(Heather Bresch of Mylan and Debra Cafaro of Ventas) still lead their
companies.
Executives made slightly less as a group in 2016 than they did in 2015
because the presidential election dangled like an ax over the stock market.
The richest year was 2015, when 70 health care CEOs collectively made $2
billion. That was an average of about $28.5 million per CEO and a median of
about $17.3 million per CEO. The median household income in 2015 was $56,515
, which the average health care CEO made in less than a day.
Pharmaceutical and drug-related company CEOs made up 11 of the top 20
highest earners.
Gilead's Martin made the most since the ACA became law. Several other
executives — including John Hammergren of McKesson ($587 million), Leonard
Schleifer of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals ($338 million) and Stephen Hemsley of
UnitedHealth Group ($279 million) — each took home more than a quarter-
billion dollars on their own.
A handful of lesser-known health care CEOs were among the highest earners.
For example, Michael Mussallem of the medical device company Edwards
Lifesciences collected $246 million since the ACA went into effect. Last
year, for every dollar Mussallem's company brought in as revenue, two cents
went toward his pay.
The analysis still underestimates how much wealth health care CEOs have. It
did not include vested stock after CEOs retired, nor did it include the
value of stock CEOs still hold. For example, Walgreens CEO Stefano Pessina
owns more than 13% of Walgreens, which equaled about $12 billion as of June
2017. | n***j

医生的正面形象是刚刚的， 而且让你觉得医生就应该多挣钱。美国人被教育管理的很
乖， 一点不敢越雷池。

比如非移去看病，啥也没有，医院也给看个够，然后说我赔了二十万，政府来补吧。
