This story and the one on the WP claim this but provide no proof that anyone has been intimidated. I also think the bill that passed last weekend should be killed. The public option is too week, women would need to buy seperate coverage incase they might someday need an abortion. Insurance companies can basically gouge their customers at will. Not to mention it's 2000 pages and who know's what else is in there. How are they intimidating anyone?

Don't blame the company for pointing out to employees that UHG ownership is against health care reform. But I hope our elected officials keep the larger public interest at the forefront of their considerations. Senators like Mr. Baucus and Lieberman seem intent on protecting insurers and providers. Senators Klobuchar and Franken surely get similar pressure. I hope they are not among the bought and paid for by industry interests This is an issue where the insurers and the American public have opposing interests.
