Thank you Senator McConnell for defending the Constitution ! Things are getting real crazy, real fast.

Bravo Senator McConnell! How dare the central government "investigate" a company because it has expressed legitimate concerns? And, how dare they issue a gag order to it and to all those companies who provide Medicare Advantage? This is America! We have a right to express our viewpoints! What the heck is happening?

Socialist idiots are the only one's who want this piece of crap that will destroy our economy.

mcconnell needs to shut up if he doesn't want to contribute to solving our nations problems. whining, complaining, hating, does nothing to solve our problem. it's always easier to moan than to solve. so until you come up with real solutions, you need to shut up

He is full of shit on this issue. Humana violated the rules by sending out a letter that lied and they are NOT allowed to do this while milking the tax payers. He is another crazy GOP'r who is freaking out that his role of alpha is going down the drain as it should.

Humana to repay government $14.5 million for double-dipping Medicare fees

Humana Inc. will pay $14.5 million to the federal government for what investigators allege was the HMO's deliberate scheme to defraud the Medicare system.

I'm still waiting for the source of LLORT3's assertion that 90% of RE foreclosures occur in suburban areas.

But, even if that is partially true, I'm sure there are plenty of people all over the country who got into mortgages that were more than they could afford. And, how can we ignore ACORN's involvement in all of it? Or their people "squatting" in homes to prevent the lenders from exercising their due process? Urban or suburban, it doesn't matter, a default is a default is a default.
