Angela Braly, Chairman and CEO of Wellpoint,

presides over a corporation which, in 2008,

awarded 39 executives over $1 million each

in compensation and spent $27 million on

'executive retreats'. Defending her company's

recent premium increases of up to 39%,

Ms. Braly insisted that she is on the side of

the consumer. So was Vlad the Impaler.

Angela Braly, CEO of WellPoint, the largest health

insurer in the United States, made almost $10

million in 2008. Such outlandish compensation

doesn't materialize out of thin air. So, in 2009,

she has announced that she is reducing the health

benefits of her own employees. Ah, how full the Earth

is of blasphemies, monstrosities, and other

perversions!
