Vermont proposes bill capping hospital exec salaries at ten times the lowest-paid worker's pay.

Vermont lawmakers are proposing a bill that would cap hospital executives' salaries at ten times that of the lowest-paid employee to address healthcare financial struggles. The University of Vermont Health Network, the state's largest provider, recently gave top executives $3 million in bonuses, though executives' pay represents only about 1% of the network's payroll. The bill aims to redirect funds to patient care and balance pay equity between executives and frontline workers.
