Britain's National Health Service spends ~5% on administration. Canada spends ~14%. In the USA tax-exempt not-for-profit hospitals spend up to 31% of their budget on administration. Hospital salaries in the millions are paid to executives who have no medical degree and who do not treat patients. If you want to stop this waste, tell your doctor and together compare hospitals near you: Choose one accordingly year by year to make your voice heard. Money talks; it's our money.

Senator Grassley is concerned that some tax-exempt administrators spend little on charity. Some administrators of MediCare/MedicAid hospitals are paid millions of dollars.
