I was somewhat concerned after listening to Obama's weekly radio address. He was discussing the scandalous insurance industry and the millions of dollars they were spending on ads to discourage Americans from parts of the health care reform bill. The insurance industry is just one of many that are  spending millions of dollars on ads trying to convince the American people that their position is the correct one. Not only is Obama vilifying insurance companies, he is also telling them if they can correspond with their costumers. After Humana insurance corresponded with their existing  Medicare advantage costumers to explain that their plan will no longer be available if  health care reform goes through.(Medicare advantage plans are eliminated in all 5 of the proposed plans as part of the 500 billion that they plan to take out of Medicare.) All other  companies that handle Medicare advantage plans were told that they were not to correspond with their customers either. I guess he doesn't want  Medicare advantage plan holders to realize that "if you like your plan you just may not be able to keep  that plan."
