I never thought I would see such a thing in the US. This administration is truly perilous. This is straight out of Hugo Chavez’s playbook.

HHS issued the gag order, and HHS will be the ones distributing benefits as the ‘Health Information Exchange’ under the plot. That would be a conflict of interests as far as their supposed investigation goes. And they’ve just voted to nix publication of the bill – WHAT a surprise.

This is terribly frightening. What thugs. I guess it’s the “Chicago Way”.

Max Baucus is trying as hard as he can to ruin health care reform for his insurance company sponsors. You won’t find other dems pulling stupid stunts like this one.

I reckon you guys need to relax. The end of the clip reveals the real crux of the matter: HHS is looking into whether the mailings ILLEGALLY appear to be official communications from Medicare. It appears that the HHS is not, as McConnell claims, telling companies they can’t communicate with their customers; it’s saying they can’t pretend to be Medicare.

DO NOT relax on this issue! Contact your elected officials and let them know how disturbing this is to you. Our government is quite competent of investigating these mailings in question without placing a gag order on Humana!! A stay on-up mailer would certainly resolve this issue if, in fact, a honest investigation and followup discussion with private provider determines said mailer was misleading.

Oh, Humana Insurance Company is just worried about your health benifits. Would you hire a crocodille to babysit? Insurnance monopolies are worse. They’re serial murderers. What would you call monopolies that are responsible for 18,000 of our neighbors dying every year? Do you know anyone who has no healthcare and has a serious illness or just getting ancient? If you said no, than I suggest you initiation caring for others.

Monopolies huh? Why do you reckon they have monopolies. The govt refusal to discuss more on that issue is alarming to me. They would rather pass more taxes and mandates then really break down the barriers to healthcare. They are looking for a fund raiser via tax payer. No company has incentive to change their practices until the consumers demand it by the power of their dollar. To terrible the govt wont allow for consumers to really use their buying power by allowing cross state buys.
