That doesn’t count his non-salary compensation— or his health insurance.

His non-salary compensation includes $7,564,480.00 in exerciseable stock options.

But you’re right: the price of health insurance has exploded. We need to address it. The best way of doing that is the single-payer option, which will remove the parasitic profit layer from the health insurance companies, and the practices that distort costs. I also think we should change from fee-for-service model of physician payment to a more total care or medical home framework, since what we have in the US is a dearth of primary care and an overabundance of specialists— and among the specialists, the compensation has little to do with the difficulty or importance of the work.
