Sounds like we have a healthcare CEO shortage then because the market is paying an exorbitant amount for something that doesn’t need to be as scarce.

With that aside, I suspect (and many other commenters here as well) that there’s price fixing involved in executive pay, creating an artificial floor that insulates from the effects of the labor market

Of course we have a shortage of CEOs or can manage large organizations efficiently. Just like we also have a shortage of NFL quarterbacks or MLB pitchers.

Healthcare CEO pay is in-line with executive pay of similarly sized firms.

Simply put, senior management of large corporations is a skill few have, and even fewer are willing to take the responsibility and stress of.

It it’s so easy to be a healthcare CEO, then go ahead and fill in, you can get some millions.
