Health insurance outrage

HuffingtonPost reports:

WellPoint health insurance company, which has encouraged its employees to lobby against health care reform, is now cutting their benefits.

The insurance giant plans to raise deductibles and premiums for some of its employee health benefits.

HuffingtonPost sometimes engages in rather sensationalizing headlines, but reading the text of the article bears this one out. A health insurance company that encouraged its employees to lobby against health care reform then turns around and makes their own existing health benefit worse.

They blamed it on the bad economy that was forcing them to do it.

If they can't meet their obligations to their employees, then they should be lobbying FOR health care reform, not against it.

They're bankrupt. Bankrupt of ideas, bankrupt of moral values.
