Well the board felt it was reasonable, and I'd expect the board of a publicly traded company to know more about its finances than me.

The question was about how much R&D happens in single-payer counties, not how much one particular CEO made. I am a proponent of single-payer health care in the US but responding to unrelated, valid questions with, "yeah, but this one person made a lot of money and that makes me mad!" is ridiculous.

That CEO only made that amount because of FDA regulations related to the manufacture of generics, as well as her family connections.

My point is that the entire for profit healthcare system in the US is broken, and it's time to burn it to the ground.

Waste is waste, and must be eliminated from the system with extreme prejudice.

Excessive profits are waste.
