Facts (see news article cited directly above):

• Last year, 20 nurses at Alta Bates Summit Medical Centers in Oakland and Berkeley were paid between $200,000 and $291,000. 
• Average pay for the centers' 1,800 nurses was $136,000 per year. 
• 20 Sutter Health bosses were paid more than $1 million. Company CEO Pat Fry was paid nearly $4 million.

Commentary:

• Despicable exploitation of the sick and injured, many of whom are poor, generated the revenue that was used to pay Chief-Parasite Pat Fry (who was paid nearly $4 million), the other parasitic bosses, and the parasitic nurses. 
• Don’t support nurses who go on strike. They’re all obscenely overpaid. 
• This obscene compensation is one of the reasons why healthcare is unaffordable.
