> Hospitals have an operating margin of 2-5%

There's no way a Chairman/CEO would ever reduce the operating margin by just giving themselves and their buddies a raise is there?

Are you saying that most hospitals have 50% profit margins, of which 90% are paid to the chairman leaving only a thin margin? That seems difficult to believe.

They may have 4.2% margins knocked down to 4% by exec comp but I don't see that how that fact would change OPs point.
