Here are seven things to know about the proposal:

以下是关于该提案需要了解的七件事：

1. In early February, Rep. Daisy Berbeco questioned Sunil 'Sunny' Eappen, MD, CEO of University of Vermont Health Network in Burlington, about how much he earns as CEO of the state's largest hospital system. Dr. Eappen reportedly accepted a nearly $600,000 bonus in 2024 and his salary is more than $1.3 million. .

1. 2月初，众议员黛西·贝贝科向佛蒙特大学健康网络（位于伯灵顿）的首席执行官苏尼尔·“桑尼”·埃帕恩博士提问，关于他作为该州最大医院系统首席执行官的收入。据报道，埃帕恩博士在2024年接受了近60万美元的奖金，其年薪超过130万美元。

2. Administration and management at UVM Medical Center are paid 73% more than those at 106 other medical centers across the country, according to Vermont Healthcare 911, a nonprofit formed in response to the high cost of healthcare in the state.

根据佛蒙特州一家为应对该州高昂医疗成本而成立的非营利组织Vermont Healthcare 911的数据，UVM医学中心的行政管理和管理人员的薪资比全国其他106家医学中心高出73%。

that less than 5 cents of every dollar went to pay executive and non-executive management salaries.

每一美元中不到5美分用于支付高管和非高管的管理薪酬。

4. Ms. Berbeco also questioned Dr. Eappen as to whether he felt it was fair that he accepted the bonus in a year where the system also made $122 million in cuts to staff and services in response to budget restrictions imposed by the Green Mountain Care Board, Vermont's healthcare regulator. The cuts included 200 jobs, 50 hospital beds and certain procedures and specialty care units. .

4. 贝尔贝科女士还质疑埃帕恩博士，他是否认为在接受奖金的同时，该系统在佛蒙特州医疗监管机构——绿山医保委员会施加的预算限制下，削减了1.22亿美元的员工和服务是公平的。这些削减包括200个工作岗位、50张病床以及某些手术和专科护理单元。

5. The bill would also require the ratio of hospital administration to clinical expenses to fall in line with national averages.

5. 该法案还要求医院管理费用与临床费用的比例符合全国平均水平。

6. Using this formula would result in a top salary of about $416,000 annually, according to the report.

6. 报告称，使用这个公式计算，最高年薪约为41.6万美元。
