http://signon.org/sign/anthem-blue-cross-stop?source=c.tw&r_by=5138223
Anthem Blue Cross and its parent company WellPoint have been using the money you spend on premiums to fund misleading, partisan ads to oppose rate regulations that would keep health insurers from price-gouging.
They have also attacked supporters of Wall Street reform, health care, and environmental regulations, without even disclosing it!
Sign the petition to tell Anthem Blue Cross and WellPoint to stop using your premiums to fund political attack ads!
Whats even worse? Their CEOs would rather jack up the cost of your premiums to fund these sleazy attack ads than dip into their own profits. Last year alone, WellPoint Inc. made $2.6 billion in profits and paid its CEO more than $13 million.
Stand with us and tell Anthem Blue Cross and Wellpoint that enough is enough
WellPoint, one of the largest health care companies in the country, should stop spending corporate funds on political campaigns, disclose everything it has spent directly or indirectly on political campaigns, and use the money to lower rates for Anthem policyholders!
Please take a moment to sign the petition.
Thank you for all your help,
The Change to Win Team
