"Michelle Obama's salary is in line with those of the 16 other vice presidents at the not-for-profit medical center."

Says it all right there my friend. The problem is always put on the evil insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, etc.... THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE!!

I've worked in the health care industry....

Hospital Bed: $24,000
O.R. Table: $75,000
Receptionist Chair: $450!!!

I've also done industrial outside sales; besides selling to the Government, hospitals are considered the best source for gross profit on items. Sell at list price....NO DISCOUNTS!

SINCE his wife is a V.P. this type of information should be MORE than available to both of them. Why not confront the actual problem that hospital spending is out of control! THEN we have a salary increase of this nature when he's elected.......SURE, it's Washington that is broke and he's the one for change. MY ASS!!

Have a good one!:s4:
