"Shut Up! The Government Says" - McConnell on Humana Letter

Kinda sounds like Iran, now doesn't it?

Typical Obama bullies,you can not tell the truth,just shut up and take your medicine. Too bad that's the way,Chavez may run his dictatorship,but we are not his subjects.We are citizens and have the right to hear the truth...Taking 500 Billion from Medicare will harm the program that a lot of Seniors depend on,and that is the truth,something the Democrats have a hard time acknowledging.

ahh Republicans always defending the Insurance Companies and their LIES! They better or no more Millions from them. Funny a party that was totally against Medicare and wanted to cut funding now all of a sudden cares pluuuuuuuuuuze Give me a break!

So the government prefers that a private company that recieves massive government payments refrain from using an official-seeming mailing to the customers that company has, under that government contract, to alarm and agitate the populace in a fairly deliberately political way?

Well that's outrageous! Why can't they be more like James Buchanan, and just let them do "whatever" on the federal dime?

Seniors are a target for health insurance company's. They insinuate that they will be financially destroyed if they don't buy their insurance, or they need to have this coverage or that coverage when in truth, they take the elderly for every dime they can and fail to pay out like they promise. If there was a brain, in Washington DC, just an iota of common sense, then we would be under a single payer system and the hatred and profit making system we have in place now would not be an issue.

I've got no use for Mountain Top Removal McConnell or his Big Coal Mining loving wife Elaine. Both are a P.O.S. Bought and paid for by big business and to heck with the middle class. Remember the Utah mine disaster?? You can thanks Mitch's wife Elaine for those deaths. The McConnell's are big buddies and hid bad inspection for the mine owner. Garbage, not worth spitting on.

If the republicans are so concerned about the seniors and the mis-information that they are no doubt receiving from Humana who looking after it's profits and the Republicans think the current health system is so great; maybe the government should do away with Medicare all together. Think of the money we would save. We would truly be able to balance the budget by simply telling the elderly to stop being deadbeats looking for government handouts. Get a job you slackers! - Glen Beck

Kentuckians, you can do better then Mitch McConnell. He votes to fatten his pockets and to heck with you poor and middle class folks. Get rid of him, he gives your beautiful a bad name.

This administration needs to be brought to Justice for undermining the Constitution. If we the people have to do it ourselves, so be it! If the ballot does not work, then we will turn to the 2nd Ammendment!

Apparently someone who is supposed to represent the people of his state desided that the people he means is corporate people. He is all for free speech...as long as it's corporate free speech and as long as the truth is considered a minor point.

Hey Ugly McConnell, NO company that has a Financial motive has the right to do this. Just shows what these "Money Hungry, Don't Care about You or Your Mama" companies care about. McConnell TELL you "bullies" and "buddies" at Humana to tell me their lies. I'm Not Elderly.....tell 'em to pick on ME, and I bet I'm not "SCARED" of their lies. Boy, McConnell and Humana is sure trying to hold on to their "GRAVY TRAIN"
Kentucky needs to Fire this "seat warmer"

Anicholas - what are you suggesting? Be careful! The Secret Service doesn't take comments such as yours lightly, and they shouldn't either.

With Regards to Health-Care,Many don't have Constructive debates about The Facts and Reality that affected millions of Americans.

What they're offering are destructive competition seeks to benefit an individual/group/organism by damaging and/or eliminating competing individuals, groups and/or organisms; it opposes the desire for mutual survival. It is "winner takes all" the rationale being that the challenge is a zero-sum game; the success of one group is dependent on the failure of the other competing groups. Destructive competition tends to promote fear, a "strike-first" mentality and embraces certain forms of trespass.

What American needs a Healthy Debates that reflected on REAL cheaper,smarter business alternatives market,NOT polital motivated market.that monopoly about the facts.

The Facts : American Needs Contructive and Real Market Competition to make Health-Care more affortable and Cheap to all Americans,If this not an option practices,then the truth all americans are at losing game on everything,Not even with a Good Policy,or Good judgement Senate or Good President can do much.

Thru my experienced working abroad,convinced me that on my agrument about the reality of Facts that Americans are at downhill of his lifes,not only on his Health-Care,but everything in life,.

Let me bring example how we are losing out to compete in real market practice,,according to director of public relations and marketing,Mr Geoff Moss,a medical tourism company set up in 2002,sends more than 3,000 patients a year overseas,"Singapore 's values proposition is medical innovation,especially stem cells,plus there are state of the art doctors and facilities 'said Mr Moss.

One is Ms Suzzane Rakow,who recently had a tumor removed at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre,after being diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.The treatment would have cost her an estimated US100,000 in US,Her Singapore trip-including flying over,her stay and treatment costs come to just under US30,000.

"so I saved US70,000,in all she said",her time in singapore included a two week holiday in Bali during a month break between surgery and starting radiation treatment"

One reason for their confidence in seeking treatment in Asia is the stamp of Qualification these Hospitals have accured with JCI accreditation,JCI or Joint Commission International,accredits hospitals that meet the quality of care expected of good hospital in United States.All 15 Hoispital in Singapore have such credentials.WHO rated singapore on world wide standing as 6th position .while US at 37 position on Health-Care..Thats the Fact weither you like or Not!

So Humana gets to take billions of dollars of taxpayer money in the form of direct subsidies, then use the money to fund a publicity campagin that LIES to seniors and the disabled about proposed health care reform? How do us working folks get a deal like that?

Medicare Advantsge plans have been a God send for millions of people. It gives them healthcare protection at an affordable price. If you are disabled and under 65 health insurance is unaffordable--Medicare Advantage plans have been a blessing for those people.
If this leglislation is passed they will lose their Medicare Advantsge plans --whether it is Humana or another carrier! Are we now not able to voice our opinion on issues that are of concern to millions of people? What else can we expect to be told not to do??

Gag order, our government? Yep, the government cannot tolerate inconvenient truths getting in the way of this government controlled healthcare it wants to sell.

Whatever happened to democracy? why do we elect officials who try to sell us something? Can we trust any of them?

Let's strive to bring all the house home in 2010, replacing them with "guy next door" types that will serve a couple of terms and come back home to their life.

Guys that love babies and hate abortion. Guys that hate taxes and are smart enough to know the government can't run anything efficiently.

Guys that know the government can't change climate, only taxes.

Let's do it America, clean the house and one third of the senate!

McConnell has taken a fair bit of campaign coin (more than $112,000 over his decades-long career).

"Mitch McConnell’s full-throated defense of one of the insurance giants seeking to kill health care reform may be unseemly, but it is certainly not surprising given all the Humana money lining his coffers,”

I am in KY... and cannot stand McConnell... who is only looking out for himself... no one else... He is a highly paid lacky of the insurance industry...

How long have they known about the Charlie Rangell imporprieties? Hows the prosecutoin on that coming?

Once again, here is the administration negating the opinion of any person who does not agree with the plan, in this case saying "...those who have been paying attention". Your Jedi mind tricks and reverse psycho babble do not convince me that I am "uninformed" or "mislead". Dear Leader, you still have plenty of explaining to do...and you just can't seem to do it, no matter how many TV appearances. Rookie

Just one question.

Since WHEN does a corporation have freedom of speech?

That is a right granted to INDIVIDUALS.

I am sick and tired of corporations buying the votes in our legislature. They have the money to buy the votes (including McConnell's). Our elected officials are not representing the PEOPLE.
