So why aren't for profits the most profitable then?

And the simple fact that a non profit can spend 6M USD on compensation to its CEO loudly advertises the healthcare provider market inefficiency.



With revenue in the billions that doesn't represent a significant cost (Say 1% on the higher side).

I'm pretty convinced the market for CEOs in general is broken, but it's also the case that largely eliminating CEO compensation wouldn't move prices much in any business.


I have no idea about CEO compensation in general, but I'm curious what would be a reasonable salary/compensation for someone who manages several large facilities and thousands of staff, some of whom make 7 figures for their expertise. $6M plus perks doesn't seem that high to me, but maybe I'm desensitized by seeing so many other executives make gobs of money.
