I betcha he's making quite a salary. The CEO is making out like a bandit. I wonder if executive staff pay will be the FIRST thing these folks in the gilded offices of ECH discuss when its "Cost cutting Season"?

Obviously it is naive to think this would happen voluntarily. Without the necessary political will ECH will continue to cut from the bottom, taking from those least able to pay.

NOW THEY NEED TO GET RID OF DR. QUINCY, THE HEAD OF EL CAMINO HOSPITAL. HE REFUSES TO TREAT ME (EVEN WHEN I WENT TO URGENT CARE. I WENT THERE BLEEDING AND THEY REFUSED TO TREAT ME BECAUSE HE BARED ME FROM SEEING ANY DOCTOR OR CLINIC. I WENT TO URGENT CARE, AND THEIR COMPUTERS WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO GET REGISTERED. HE IS CRAZY AND ABUSING POWER. HOW CAN HE TREAT ANY HUMAN BEING LIKE THIS?

I THINK HE WOULD STEP OVER PEOPLE'S BODIES IF THEY NEEDED CPR.
