President Barack Obama’s top health official on Thursday warned the insurance industry that the administration won’t tolerate blaming premium hikes on the new health overhaul law.

“There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a letter to the insurance lobby.

“Simply stated, we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium hikes and increased profits on the requirement that they provide consumers with basic protections,” Sebelius said. She warned that bad actors may be excluded from new health insurance markets that will open in 2014 under the law. They’d lose out on a big pool of customers, as many as 30 million people nationwide.

HHS to insurers: Don't blame us for your rates - Yahoo! News

Yeah. That's the way to do it. Threaten them on locking them out of the system. How often do you hear a Cabinet official tell Americans to stay out of political debates at the risk of losing their businesses? Destroy businesses just out of spite?

Hmmm.

Just curious.....Have they changed the name yet or are we still the United States of America????? That just doesn't sound like something that an American would say.
 
that's proper way to do it. you don't hire people who criticize your company, do you?
 
and we just keep sliding down this vortex of financial terrorism, behavior that if exhibited by any one of us would end us up in the slammer....
 
That's a scary thought. People seeing the U.S. govt as a company now.

Tsk, too.
 
If insurance companies don't like to join Obamacare then don't join at all, that's simple.

It's about time someone puts an end to that. Whine all you want but I firmly stand by her.

Your *incorrect* opinions mean nothing.
