[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s say you make 50k a year and your boss makes 100k a year.  In 10 years you make 65k a year and he makes 3.5 million dollars a year.  That’s what happened to CEO pay in relation to employee wages.[/quote]
Still doesn’t change the fact that if he made zero dollars, the savings wouldn’t be there for that number of customers. Even if he made just $250k, the savings per customer would only be $3 and some change. Even if none of the top executives made any money, and let’s say the company saved 1 billion, the customer would only be saving about $4.50. Would you notice or care about $4.50? What if nobody at all made any salary at BC, and you saved $15. Would you be happy? You wouldn’t even notice![/quote]

But you know who WOULD notice? All the underpaid peons at Blue Cross. Lower his pay to something less insane and give them a nice raise. And get me a better price on freakin Epipens![/quote]

+1  +1  OP, you're being deliberately dense.  The Blue Cross guy makes $19 million which if we take your assumption that there are 6 million blue cross customers in a particular state, works out to 3.2$/customer.  
My value system is such that I would much rather that the $19 million was used to give 10,000 Blue Cross workers a $1,900 raise.  Money is fungible you know.[/quote]
This is OP and this does make sense. I was being very dichotomous.[/quote]
