Let me start with asking this: Can you please tell us what you do with your day that justifies making $52,054.00 IN ONE DAY? This is a serious question that deserves a serious answer.
Nurses and hospital staff are asked to take lower wages in this recession that we are enduring, while you people are making record profits. They are the ones that are doing the work so you can even HAVE a paycheck. How can you justify your income when it is taken directly from the pockets of the working class that you are required to have to even operate your insurance company. How long do you think we, the people, are going to put up with this "right in front of our face" blatant victimization of American citizens?
There are more than 50 Million Americans that are uninsured. In almost all cases it is because you all charge more than a person can afford. Or you deny someone health insurance because they are sick...and then you would have to pay for their care rather than line your pockets with windfall profits that should be called extorted money from American Citizens.
In 2008 ,Aetna’s Ronald Williams received $24,300,112 last year. That’s $467,309.85 per week. That’s a house. Maybe not a house that Mr. Williams would live in, but a house nonetheless.
"The business model of American health insurers is basically: try to get healthy customers as clients, and then resist as long as possible when it comes to paying out claims. That’s actually not an indictment or a criticism. It’s just the way our system works, and it’s screwed up"-Wall Street Journal.
You are stealing from good people, and for some reason all of us good people have allowed this to happen....mostly because of ignorance in what you were doing. Now, with the social media watching and reporting....we know what you have been doing.
We CAN stop this. It won't be an easy chore because we have the Tea Party and people like the Koch Brothers that put up millions to hold us down.
To coin the GOP phrase...we will take our country back. You want to take it back to the dust bowl days when corporations ruled everything and minorities and women were held to be second class citizens with limited rights. We want to take our country back to the place where we were actually free and thought that war was just something that happened in other countries. You have declared war against the American majority with your 1% club.
Who do you think will prevail? 99% of a pissed off victimized American population or the 1% of the richest greediest people in world history.
