Don't we all!
Most CEO's do have better INS than us Working Stiffs, many have to have workups when they take over to assure their health is up to the strain.

Ha! Ha! They get tested to make sure their Turds float, that's how they "Rise to the Top! Sorry about that but it's true! :lol: Jim

Nah, what we need is NO health insurance, but a progressive country that takes care of it's populous, instead of fleecing them for profit so that more executives can have more yachts.
I agree with that to a point, but I'd rather have it the way it is than the politicians having more yachts, homes and spending our country into oblivion.
If you think it's expensive now.......wait till it's "FREE"!!!

Drain the "SWAMP"!!!

According to the link I posted in the initial post...........

"He became the head of Kaiser Permanente in 2013 and has worked at the company for over 30 years. He also served on the board of directors for the American Heart Association and SalesForce, according to his bio on the company's website."

Now, one would THINK that in all that time he'd been with the company he should have been tested, but maybe he was a "Macho-Man" and was tougher than a little old Sleep Apnea.
And, maybe by his position with the company, he could opt out of some health testing.

"Macho men" often die before their time.
Sometimes we call it "type A", machismo, or cajones.
That male animal thing leaves them vulnerable.
(or perhaps it is THOSE things . . .)

So, you want ALL the taxpayers to pay for your healthcare. Where do you think the government gets its money?

It's not "someone", it's basically a sociopath who's built his empire profiting on the suffering of others.
This is typical of your leftist, anti-business, nasty attitude. I assume you were always on the wrong side of income inequality.

Like most leftists, I bet you would not have made such a nasty attack on Bernard Tyson had you know he was a black man. You might want to read a little bit about the man and his values and dreams before you strike out wildly - https://fortune.com/2019/11/10/kaiser-p ... ommentary/

Race makes one neither good nor bad.
But race can predispose one to certain health problems.
Africans who survived the Crossing begat generations with greater incidence of heart disease.

I'm not racist, I don't give a crap what color someone is on the outside.

He headed a corporation devoted to separating people from their money, and denying their claims for necessary medical care. I don't care if he was black, white, brown, yellow, purple or green.

Lateral cerebral sulcus (Laeralus?) ... a must have among our Hominidae family, to connect perception of our temporal lobes with our frontal lobe cognitive understanding of the deep state manifestation of the DC “swamp” and pizza-gate. The Fibonacci sequence is NOT fake news ... And Jeffery Epstein did NOT kill himself!

I don’t know about your status Den, but my sincerest gratitude to our mutual and great friend Jim, for his valor and his military service to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States – so that we can freely exchange our ideas and opinions on this great forum and elsewhere throughout our great nation. If you too are a veteran Den, then my sincerest gratitude to you – as well as to all of our great veterans throughout the nation.

Take care my cpap peoples!
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Only if we lost all that due to unaffordable healthcare costs.
As do too many Americans--EVERY DAY!
