According to Market Watch, Aetna CEO Ronald Williams "earned" nearly $43 million in total compensation in 2007. The census bureau set the 2007 poverty line for a single person at $9944 (over 65) or $10,787 (under 65); let's just call it a nice round $10,000.
Meanwhile, this painter/sculptor might dispute the use of the word "earned" in the Market Watch story:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AETNA........ you owe me money and are waiting to the last day to pay me.....Your Nurse was a liar.....she said she was going to see me through my illness.
Wouldn't it be great if Ronald Williams turned his abilities to something more socially productive? Painting and sculpture, for instance. Wouldn't it be great if we all had comprehensive health benefits? Wouldn't it be great if Congress would pass H.R. 676?

$43 million????????
How much health care does that buy?
As much as he needs, that's for sure!
All the Viagra he wants, undoubtedly.
More seriously, that would be another interesting calculation.

No, he's not worth that much
He's paid that much.

If I invited the Aetna CEO to dinner...
could I get the 4,300 poor people instead?
If a person in poverty invited the Aetna CEO to dinner
their average income would be over $20 million. The two must be living it up!
Is AETNA your adopted parasite?
Well done, if so!

It's mine, all mine,
the cute little bugger. Brightens my every day.

So THOSE Aetna duties!
How many times a day do you have to take it out? :-)
Go Global!
Is it as cute as your pony?
Because it certainly sounds like it...

It's a replacement for my pony,
which is lost. If anyone's seen it, you can just turn it in to the Humane Society. I was tired of cleaning up the mess anyway.
