Wellpoint (BCBS) Sues State of Maine Because it Won't Guarantee Them a Profit
Just when you thought their GREED couldn't GET more putrid and blatant....

WellPoint -- the largest insurer in America (ie: BCBS) is suing an entire state of Maine for putting people over profits, and people need to know.

1. Well, that's what corporations do
And if they CAN'T make a profit in one particular area, they just choose not to do business there.

So what's the deal with Wellpoint? Why don't they just say "no money here" and move on?

Do they have exclusivity rights on the whole state?

2. Is this what's in store for the nation?
They'll sue a cash strapped Fed if we go with a public option?

3. Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised. The spoilt, overfed, coddled, fat-baby corprats...
...probably would. They're ENTITLED to it all, after all.

5. Yo Snowe, you're seeing this?
And you're AGAINST public option?

Ok, good luck on your next re-election. That's a guaranteed loser issue for you, Olympia.

I have no idea. Just to get elected, I guess.
