MichCitAction :: FOR PROFIT HEALTH INSURER CEOS RAKE IN $$$ IN 2009!
The $18.1 million paid to Aetna CEO Ron Williams could have paid for 4,853 people to get arthroscopic knee surgery!

If you want to be more outraged at what these CEOs are doing with your hard earned premium dollars, go to www.HealthCareforAmericanNow.org and read the report 'Breaking The Bank: CEOS from 10 Health Insurers Took Nearly $1 Billion in Compensation, Stock from 2000 to 2009"

While it's good to name & shame... (0.00 / 0)
...don't expect much movement.

If the SHAREHOLDERS and BOARD MEMBERS of these for-profit companies can be persuaded that a Ron Williams should be thrown overboard in favor of 5,000 knee surgeries, then you'll have accomplished something.
