This should concern every single American! For this administration to impose a gag order on a private company against contacting it's own customers is UNCONSTITUIONAL! Where will this end, will it end or just get worse with every passing day of this administration? I have never seen a U.S. administration ever do anything like this before, it is very hitleresque to me!

If Humana has any guts, they will step up their mailings. What a bunch of thugs who work for Obama. A one term president if I've ever seen one.

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 old? If you said no, than I suggest you start caring for others.

Monopolies huh? Why do you think 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 actually 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 bad the govt wont allow for consumers to actually use their buying power by allowing cross state buys.

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

I think 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.

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

This is terribly frightening.  What thugs. I guess it's the "Chicago Way".
