Worst Company In America Sweet 16: Johnson & Johnson Vs. WellPoint

In honor of April 1, we present this WCIA faceoff between a pair of fools — One that makes medicines no one can sell and the other that takes your insurance premium but offers you no insurance.

Both companies remain concussed and bloodied after their respective first round fights, in which WellPoint (perhaps better known as the parent company of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield) proved slightly more incompetent than the UnitedHealth family, and Johnson & Johnson’s inability to stock CVS shelves with drugs that don’t get recalled was enough to win the day.

This poll is now closed. Congrats to WellPoint for making it to the Elite 8!
