Santorum quits $168,000/year part-time post at US-funded co.
Rick Santorum, the US Senator (R-Pa.) voted out of office by Pennsylvanians in 2006, has quit his post as a member of the board of directors of Universal Health Services Inc., a for-profit mental-health hospital chain that relies on taxpayer-funded programs for 38% of its revenues, "as a result of his recent and formal announcement" that he's running for President of the US, Universal said in a statement.

Santorum is saying good-bye to a post that paid him $168,000 in cash and stock last year for attending board and compensation committee meetings, where his duties included approving a $10 million CEO cash, stock and insurance compensation package for Universal boss Alan B. Miller.

Universal relied on taxpayer-funded Medicare and Medicaid payments for 38% of its $5.6 billion in revenues last year, according to the company's annual report. The company collected profits totalling $230 million.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

168K a year for nothing and more than a third of revenues are taxpayers'???? And Mental Health no less?

Chutzpah without bounds....

16. You get paid to be on a board of directors?

Seriously? I thought that was against the rules.

[AmandaRuth]

17. could someone tell me what a

board of directors type person does, and why it pays $168,000 for part time work? And I thought executive pay was outrageous.

In a nutshell, this is what is wrong with America right now.

19. This is....................

the same "FROTH" that took money from a Pennsylvania school where he "claimed" to live (in a 2-bedroom house)to keep his children in a cyber school while he lived in a palace in Virginia.

The words "SCUM" and "FROTH" do not come close to describing this worthless piece of "left-over".

[TygrBright]

21. Mr. Sanctorectum bears a strange resemblance to a certain frothy byproduct, indeed. n/t
