WellPoint Inc. revealed Friday that it boosted its chief executive's compensation 51% last year, even as the health insurance giant prepared massive rate increases in California that embroiled it in a national controversy over skyrocketing health insurance costs.

At least three other WellPoint executives got compensation increases of as much as 75%.The hefty packages come as WellPoint's California subsidiary, Anthem Blue Cross in Woodland Hills, seeks double-digit rate increases for many of its 800,000 members who buy individual policies.

California policyholders sharply criticized the WellPoint pay, complaining that they are subsidizing generous packages for millionaire executives. "It's unconscionable," said Mark Weiss, a Century City podiatrist whose Anthem policy will jump 35%. "How much more does somebody need?
