How can a company drop women from their health insurance plans because of breast cancer? This kind of situation shouts no moral compass and maximizing profits at all costs.

What is worse is the fact that the head of Wellpoint is a woman. One would think that the benefit of having women as the top executive of the company would eliminate this kind of discrimination.

I guess this is similar to an African American man owning a very popular cable music network that years ago allowed too many music videos of drive by shootings and lawlessness in the hood to be showed on an endless loop everyday.

What will it take for these kind of Executives to find a balance between making profits for the business and the greater good for society when structuring their business policies?

Reuters reported on Thursday that WellPoint, the largest U.S. health insurer by enrollment, was using a computer algorithm that automatically targeted patients recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

In a letter dated April 22 to Angela Braly, WellPoint's chief executive, Department Of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said she was "surprised and disappointed" to learn from a Reuters report that the company has specifically targeted women with breast cancer for aggressive investigation with intent to cancel their policies.

Update: WellPoint, based in Indianapolis, is the company that became a focal point for debate in February after complaints spread about planned rate hikes that average around 25 percent for individual insurance policies sold by the insurer's Anthem Blue Cross subsidiary in California.
