National Journal's Under the Influence

Friday, April 2, 2010 8:28 AM

Updated at 4:00 p.m. with corrections.

While much attention is given to the pay grade enjoyed by presidents and chief executives of top lobbying groups, the paychecks of their seconds- and thirds-in-command are ample as well. The average compensation package in our list of health care lobby vice presidents (plus one executive director) for 2008, including base pay, bonuses and perks, is a generous $947,872.

Keeping in mind that numbers are relative and all the executives on our list are well compensated, there are revealing differences between the pay gaps in each organization. Steve Anderson, CEO of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, makes about $500,000 more than his executive vice president and just over twice as much as his senior vice president. Business Roundtable President John Castellani, on the other hand, brings home eight times as much as his executive director and executive vice president. The salaries of health lobby CEOs range from $1.8 million to $5.6 million, whereas their No. 2s and 3s fall in the range of $500K-$1.6 million.

Correction: The original version of this post misidentified the titles of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores' vice presidents, and contained an incorrect figure for the total compensation package of Johanna Schneider (Business Roundtable).

Even if Chris Singer is only an executive vice president and he earns the least in the PhRMA list, he promoted some medical products such as Tri Luma which was a great success helping him exceed the presidents of the PhRMA earnings.

I don't know why but I expected PhRMA to be on top. Anyway, we are talking about a lot of money when it comes to health care. That's why I’m interested in a rn to msn program. I have the feeling that healthcare and IT are the most profitable domains nowadays. It's too bad I don't know much about computers.

I have graduated the mba health administration and I'm really interested in this subject.. Recently I've read an article that said that president Barack Obama is asking lawmakers to tax the health-insurance benefits of top earners, stirring opposition from congressional Democrats who fought a similar proposal in the 2010 health-care law.

I recently finished a masters in nursing and I don't earn that much but I have the satisfaction that I help people. Those guys that have a lot of money should take an example from the Japanese! The CEO of Japan's Airline has a normal salary like everyone else so he could avoid cutbacks and firing people.

Health care sector is doing a good job; but still there are areas where further work is needed, in fact there are areas where improvement is needed. So through research work that could be reached. When it comes to health care there should be some more relaxation regarding certain areas. I was looking for information on nighthawk radiology when I saw your post.

Very interesting, we are talking about a lot of money here. Anyway it's nothing unexpected giving the fact that the health care system can't fail. I mean I know how much I pay for health insurance, visitors health insurance and things like that. Anyway, the numbers are relative; I bet the real ones are much higher.

  have a friend who is starting a career as a banker. He is 23 and claims to be pulling in 100k! He is also taking a health care administration degree online and he constantly walks around saying he has the best and the most prestigious job. Im not jealous or anything, but he is starting to make me doubt my career in medicine. I mean, it'll be another 10 years before i earn that kind of money!! In my heart, however, i believe that medicine is the best career for me.

 Don't forget Ronald Williams,  boss of health insurance giant Aetna, from what I could read in The Guardian, he made a wooping $57,787,786 in 2010! He also made $50.4m on his stock options last year and he is one of the US's most prominent African American business leaders, and has campaigned against healthcare reforms that would have introduced a government-backed public insurance option to compete with private insurers. Since he became CEO, Aetna's stock price declined by 70% which wouldn't have happened if he had taken financial advice from Aaron DelSignore. I almost pity Wall Street's bankers, once the highest-paid bosses in the land, they are now also-rans.

It is great to know that such big amounts could be earned in this sector. I think it is more important to invest money in improving the health care system. Inmost sectors we now have access to advanced treatment facility. As far as addiction treatment is concerned specialized rehabs like methamphetamine addiction treatment rehab are available now.

Health care sector needs to grow even bigger; only then we can hope for better treatment facilities. Special health care requirements like addiction treatment is getting better. Each patient receives individual attention. Florida Drug Rehab is one such rehab that provides excellent facility.

Aman

Monday, January 23, 2012

Health sector as a whole in providing advanced treatment facilities. It is not just the celebrates who fall for drug addiction, but commoners are also going through this problem. So the solution to this problem is a drug rehab; but it is best to go for reputed places like Narconon.

It is true that there has been an increase in the addiction treatment facility. There are a number of rehabs available for patients. Drug and alcohol addiction are both becoming huge problems; so to combat them there are drug rehab centers available along with alcohol rehab center.

I never thought I'd say this, but right now I pity Wall Street bankers, the real money is in healthcare and drugs right now, I learned a lot about it during my finance mba online. John Hammergren the 52-year-old chairman and chief executive of McKesson Corporation took home $145,266,971 in 2010... the number speak for themselves. It seems that bankers have figured this out a while ago and many of them migrated to the more profitable field of health care.

This list is very predictable because health organizations are a good business! It's weird that some people earn so much money over other people's illnesses. Imagine all those in hospitals and all the medication they buy, from paracetamol to Threelac Candida and others. Well, that's the way things work.

It was totally predictable for me to see that private health care service providers still climb the charts as opposed to public services. I have recently read an article about the increasing number of patients at Texas drug rehab centers. I can only draw this conclusion, that private rehab centers, for instance, as well as other private medical institutions offer higher quality services than the public health care sector.

I am sorry to see that some people are not on that list. I have heard of a guy that made a lot of money after he made some good Kratom extract cure for some common diseases. Oh, well, in my opinion that list should be very different starting with the big pharmaceutical corporations. Anyway maybe the list in 2012 will be different.

It's not all about the money.For me working in the medical field is about helping people.Take for example working in a drug rehab facility .Knowing that you helped an addict to kick the habit and to stay clean is the best feeling. You get to do what you like, working with people and have the satisfaction that your work really counts.
