Well, I don't know enough about the feller to say he's a jackass. I guess someone in his position should get compensated about in line with what a CEO should get.

It's stuff like $375,000 paid in "consulting fees" to a former Health Minister's fartcatcher for "political strategy" that steam me. And I know that particular clown.

The whole problem in the Great Public Healthcare clusterfluck is that, paying all the front line folks is a bigger expenditure than giving the Big Shots perks. And the Big Shots control the purse strings. Dunno if it's possible to turn that around. Sorta like draggin' a dead elephant up a flight of stairs.
