tax-exempt doctors making $2,000,000.00

if anything were put into words that expressed my deepest beliefs about what is wrong with health care today, it would be this paragraph from today's des moines register:
Hospitals enjoy tax-exempt status as charitable organizations. If you're the doctor earning $2 million, you may think the hospital is pretty charitable. But such eye-popping salaries should raise questions about giving these institutions a free ride on income, property and sales taxes.
