Courage Campaign / TakeActionArnold (Insurance company regulation.)
Hi California DUers,

I'm sure you heard that Anthem Blue Cross wants to raise rates by 39% in California.

Even after making $4.75 billion in profit in 2009, they're back to gouge more money from Californians who are already struggling to pay their bills.

This is part of a larger trend of insurance company greed. Since 2000 they have raised rates by 96% on Californians. And they'll keep doing it until we fix our broken health care system.

I just signed a Courage Campaign petition demanding Governor Schwarzenegger support legislation to regulate these rate increases, as part of their broader health care reform campaign:

Will you sign as well? We can't let the big insurance companies keep getting away with gouging Californians.

Thanks!
