Federal Government orders Insurance Co to stop disagreeing with the President

AARP is telling its members that their benefits will not be cut, at the same time the Congressional Budget Office is saying something different. Just like Cap and Trade, and the Stimulus bill we are being asked to support something that we can not read and do not know what is and is not covered. Where is the transparency we were promised? The ability to read the bill for 5 days before congress voted on them? It seems that everything is an emergency and as one Senator put it the American people are too dumb to understand what they are doing.

"...and as one Senator put it the American people are too dumb to understand what they are doing." Which Senator said that? Are you referring to Kent Conrad who read from the bill to illustrate that no non-lawyer or non-legislator would understand what it meant? I didn't take him as saying we're "too dumb to understand" at all. Did those numbers and figures make sense to you? Annie

Of course it does. They can use fear tactics the same way Obama has with every major piece of legislation so far.

When you take a job and work for a company you do not give up your rights. Humana provides insurance to cover the gaps in the government programs. The Congressional Budget Office has stated that Medicare paitents would lose benifits under many of the proposals. Humana is also taking money from people so don't they have a duty to them to keep them informed?

umm....I am giving my employer about a third of my life! and yes, for that third of my life, I am giving up my rights.... can I say what I want to at work, nope, believe me, I have and been threatened with job loss for just speaking up and telling the truth! ya know, I do believe that humana is one of the ones offering coverage through schips....I may be wrong. blue cross/blue shield does, along with quite a few others.....schips, medicare/medicaid, many of them have been enrolled in hmos that are being run by the insurance agencies. all I am saying it that it's all that money that the government is floating around that is giving them the right to pull crap like this. if the business sector and the public sector really doesn't want the government pulling this crap, well, my advice to them would be to change the way they do their business so that there is less need for the gov't to throw the money around, and decide not to take their danged money to begin with!
