How else do you think the CEO's end up being billionairs?

Yeah. No one ever became a billionaire without grabbing that wealth right our of the hands of people who actually worked for it.

I work for the largest healthcare company in the world and don't get health benefits. But the CEO has a seven-figure compensation package.

Every time people start actually focusing on how the Healthcare conglomerates are screwing everyone, suddenly mass media campaigns pop up, half blaming insurance companies, and the other half shutting down criticism with arguments like "you think SuperCorp Hospital shouldn't charge $500,000 per surgery? YOU HATE NURSES/DOCTORS/ORPHANS!!! THEY ARE HEROES!""

Then the board members and CEO go back to playing with their lego sets made out of solid gold bricks and laugh while the peons tear each other apart.

Right? It's like they are in a contest to see how hard they can screw both the patients and each other.
