Who Is Sponsoring Uninsured Week?

April 29, 2005
Who is sponsoring Uninsured Week?
Consider this.

One of the sponsors of Uninsured Week, which begins Sunday, is the Health Leadership Council. One of their members is not-for-profit New York and Presbyterian Health Care System.
Their top salaried employee received $3,434,510 in total compensation.

Does a salary like that make health care more affordable?

Not-for-profit Cleveland Clinic Foundation is another member of the Health Leadership Council. As we have reported earlier, this not-for-profit hospital has made a profit of over $159 MILLION in just the last two years. How? In part, by charging an uninsured person $10,000, for procedures that cost Cleveland Clinic less than $3000.

If they really want to help the uninsured, why don't they simply stop price gouging those without insurance? They don't have to go to Washington DC to do that.
