Humana, a Medicare Advantage Provider, Issued Gag Order by Obama Administration
Humana Inc. communicated with its subscribers illustrating what proposed Social Security cuts to pay for the Government seizure of the country’s health care plan would mean to them. A private company attempting to communicate its perspective on a controversial public issue has been silenced by order of the government.
On what possible grounds in a democratic society can this be justified? This is pure totalitarianism in action. Apparently, the first amendment as with other constitutional provisions that provide obstacles to Obama’s grand vision, in essence acting as a de facto dictator of the proletariat in his attempts to socialize America, the rule of law does not apply when Obama seeks to pursue something he deems as “the greater good.”
Meanwhile, AARP, which sells Medicare related insurance policies, also criticized some aspects of the Obama health plan but no action was taken against them. Could it be that because they are higher visibility than an insurance company and has given so generously given to Democratic candidates have anything to do with it?
Naturally, it’s no secret one of the latest strategies of the administration’s push to sell its assault on private health care is to demonize insurance companies so such a heavy-handed action should not be surprising.
Regardless of where one stands on this issue, when the government attempts to muzzle free speech on controversial topics is a very serious and dangerous situation.
We condemn Barack Obama’s henchmen for this treacherous and oppressive act. To call it un-American would be the ultimate in understatement.
The Republicans are raising a fuss. We’ll see where that leads. See following article:
