Why stop at CEO's? Why not entertainers, athletes, lawyers, doctors, commissioned sales people, pilots, trades people, middle managers, engineers, architects, politicians, investment bankers, or anyone else who might make an above average salary? Who do you want to decide the value of someone's labor, the market or a central committee somewhere?
Getting back to the point of healthcare, if everyone purchased health care especially healthy young people, premiums would generally be lower, assuming generally the same cost spread over a bigger pool of people.
If people got activly invovled in shopping and buying their own health coverage, the market would respond, service and product options would improve. Generally we have a small group of executives at major companies buying health insurance. So health insurance companies target their products and services to make those executives happy. It is ironic, but most working people with health coverage delegate that important decision to an "over-paid" executive. Perhaps they should take that responsibility, cut that executive, split the money and buy their own coverage direct.
