Regional news: 
They want the truth? Congress and Baucus can’t handle the truth!

A ranking member of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee is seeking answers to the bizarre action by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services that has apparently thwarted the free speech rights of Humana, according to IFAwebnews.com.
Congress and the CMS (under the direction of Sen. Max Baucus), got a bit perturbed that Humana was notifying seniors that their benefits would likely be changed and even lessened under health care reform scenarios being proposed by the Senate and the House, and supported by President Obama.
CMS ordered Humana to halt the mailings, and is investigating the matter.
It seems that the truth, for some, is uncomfortable when it is exposed by the light of day.

September 29th, 2009 at 8:49 amIt appears that typical criminal Chicago politics have crept into the U.S. Senate. The house has been populated with liberal low life thugs for many years,all it took was to have the white house be inhabited with a major Chicago thug,and staffed with the meanest thug of them all( Rham Emanuel)to allow the house thugs to come out from under their rocks. It appears the country is rapidly catching on to the underhandedness that Obama has brought to the white house, ergo the falling polling numbers.

September 29th, 2009 at 11:37 amI cannot understand why Humana complied with the CMS order. The best way to stop this overreaching by bureaucrats is to defy things like this and force them to get an injunction.
Humana’s first obligation is to its policyholders, not to the liberal left in Washington.
