When we talk about why Medicaid is becoming unsustainable due to increasing healthcare costs, why don't we ever hear Republicans or Democrats mention salaries for hospital CEOs?
Here are the 2023 salaries for the CEO, President, and CFO of the largest chain of hospitals in Louisiana, LCMC.

Here is some information about Louisiana and Federal cuts to Medicaid if it's allowed to be released from the freedom loving, patriotic state of Louisiana:

So maybe we need some legislative action to push for caps on CEO salaries and number of CEO/administrative positions per hospital to receive any federal or state funding.
Why tf does one giant monopoly of hospitals need a CEO for each campus?!
Then what is the point of having a monopoly control everything in the first place? If every campus needs its own CEO to be making decisions what exactly is the benefit of having LCMC or Oschner controlling all of these hospitals?
It seems like you could be providing better healthcare with less bureaucracy if you just let individual hospitals take care of patients. Especially since most of these hospitals already existed before these companies came in and saved the day by purchasing all of these hospitals.
Great, I’m actually trying to find a new primary care doctor right now.
Tried to call my old office to see if they could help me and it rang and rang until it eventually hung up on me.
Just tried to contact one the main number to make an appointment and got a voicemail telling me to leave briefly message.
Tried to call a third number the nurses help hotline provided me and it rang once and hung up.
I’ll probably just end up going to CVS again and using their minute clinic, which actually seems to have a better handle on healthcare at this point than the giant corporation that has purchased every hospital in the area.
But I’m glad we have CEOs at every campus making sure everything runs so smoothly even though there are no doctors available to provide healthcare.

The whole point of having a giant monopoly is that all hospitals are under the same control with the same policy and regulations.
This is not normal.
