I am also a victim of Anthem formerly Blue Cross now Wellpoint, a for profit on the stock exchange. My rates have been raised to over $700 from $538. I must cancel my policy and am a breast cancer survivor. Anthem has gone over the line. They must be stopped from doing business in California and anywhere. The vultures pay their CEO's million dollar bonuses and their lobbyists to obstruction health care reform and then this? This is pure and simple bullshit. They all deserve to go straight to hell without passing go.

This is obscene. These people should be leaving their offices in handcuffs. Oh, I forgot. They've got lobbyists that make sure it's all legal. It's disgusting.
