Compiled from ABC News
Angela Braly, president and CEO of WellPoint Inc. received a 51 percent boost in compensation in 2009, from $8.7 million in 2008 to $13.1 million. Braly has been CEO of WellPoint since May 2007.
During the year, the value of Braly's perks rose 72 percent to $292,036, mainly on higher security costs for Braly as the debate over the health care overhaul became more and more heated.
WellPoint became a focal point for debate in February after complaints spread about planned rate hikes that average around 25 percent.
The Obama administration criticized the increases and used them to re-ignite its push for reform, which passed Congress and was signed into law last month. Administration officials criticized the insurer for asking for such steep rate increases when it made a profit of $2.7 billion in the final quarter of 2009.

Men unprotected minority in workforce
13-million out of work
In 1969, the world's greatest president, Richard M. Nixon issued an executive order to make females a minority in the eyes of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Since 2002, the Department of Labor reported 52 percent of the workforce was female. In 2009, the media is just discovering that fact. Since men are now the minority, when do we get an executive order protecting them under the Civil Rights Act?
This weekend, following Friday's August job report, we discovered that since Nov. 2007, not four or six million jobs were lost, but 16-million. That means men, who have suffered the greatest losses, 80%, have lost 13-million jobs.
Women unemployed numbers are 8 percent and men 12 percent. The media reported if part time and discouraged workers were included, men would be at 17 percent.
There would be a public outcry if that were women, gays, Native Americans or other minorities. Fine that it's men, preferably (and it is) older men.
