Take all the execs making over 1M a year. Add together their salaries. Divide by the number of people with health insurance. Voila. It's easy.
This is nice:
Top 10 Highest Paid CEOs | Top 10 Everything of 2013 - Business | TIME.com
Of the top 10, two are in health care. John Hammergren, CEO of the pharmaceutical and medical device distributor McKensson made 51.7 million. Just a distributor? Wow they aren't even making anything. Richard Bracken who runs a hospital chain made 46.4 million. That's almost 100 million for just two ceo's in the healthcare business.
It's a total of under $6B. Against a GDP of around $16 trillion in the US alone that isnt much. But scaling just isn't your thing. You look at their income and your income and figure "damn why do some guys get all the breaks?"
How did you arrive at this $6B number?
