Angela Braly quotes about
Be open to opportunity and take risks. In fact, take the worst, the messiest, the most challenging assignment you can find, and then take control.
People won't buy insurance until they're sick. If you can call on your way to the hospital and get coverage, it's not really insurance at that point.
I'm not a politician. I'm a businessperson.
The weekends are really important to me; the use of technology is really important to me.
We get talent and scale from mergers.
People have been talking about competition among insurers, and what they really need to be talking about is competition in the delivery of health care as well.
Of the 50 largest companies in the United States, you are the only woman CEO. Why?
That's a good question. I think there should be many other women CEO s. It feels natural to be a CEO of WellPoint, and part of the reason may be that women may be drawn to healthcare as a profession. Women make 70 percent of all healthcare decisions. Women are currently available-ready, willing, and able-to be CEOs of major Fortune 50 or 500 companies. And I expect them to emerge as such over the days, weeks, and months ahead.
