Raina H asked in Politics & GovernmentElections · 1 decade ago

Is this the change we can expect in health care under Obama???

Chicago Sun-Times---Barack toured a not-for-profit Catholic Hospital in Eugene Oregon recently, where he met with nurses and talked about the shortage of qualified nurses.

In addition to his promise to make health care more affordable, he promised to do something about that as well when President.

Well the 2006 990 Federal Tax Form for his personal hospital was posted yesterday, and it is quite revealing.

Michael Riordan was still the President and CEO in 2006.

Let's look at his total compensation.

For 2004, $1,696,606.

For 2005, $1,873,795.

For 2006, $2,402,382.

    sounds about right to me. I wonder how they can say $118 million is not profit. And we can see that Michelle's salary doubled in one year. Wonder how they can say they are in touch with Americans.

    No Obama No Way.

    Mr. Michael Riordan C.V.

    From 2001 to mid-2006, Riordan led the University of Chicago Hospitals and Health System, which was named to U.S. News & World Report’s prestigious Honor Roll of America’s Best Hospitals—the top 16 hospitals in the nation. The nearly 600-bed teaching hospital is staffed by University of Chicago physicians and ranked by net patient revenue as one of Chicago’s largest hospitals.

    While there, he guided a strategic process that led to Vision 2010, a plan that resulted in an unprecedented period of financial success and introduced a way of thinking about institutional excellence that dramatically changed the organizational culture at UCHHS, leading to breakthroughs in patient, employee and physician satisfaction ratings. The state-of-the-art Comer Children’s Hospital opened during this time as well. In addition, the system embraced diversity by changing the face of the Board of Trustees and Senior Management Group to include more women and minorities in key leadership roles. Vision 2010 also reached out to the community by collaborating with local healthcare providers to deliver high-quality care in the most appropriate setting and with education and social services organizations to support the needs of community members.

    Seems like Michael Riordan's worth every penny.

    I dunno about Obama tho'. He might get his nose out of joint and sabotage this guy's success.

    Perhaps he can expand the H-1C visa Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas program?

    Over 23 visas were issued to nurses under this program in 2006 alone!

    Very interesting.... I find it equally as interesting that very few liberals responded to your question. Actually, I don't. Because when face with indesputable facts they'd rather not comment or change the subject. Or in this case.... go to the next question and correct some grammar!!!

    GOOD JOB

    In direct response to your comments, I have to ask because you don't make it clear... are you saying that Senator Obama controls this man's salary and is personally responsible for it? Could you please provide a link to any credible evidence for that?
