Anyone having a copy of the Humana document should copy it and spread it far and wide, particularly to senior citizens who would have their medical care severely compromised by ObamaCare.

The ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee is demanding answers from the government agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid after it ordered a private health insurance company to stop informing its enrollees about looming Medicare cuts under President Obama's healthcare plan.
In a letter last week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) informed Humana that it had launched an investigation of the health insurance company's marketing practices. CMS has also ordered Humana to stop telling its enrollees that President Obama's proposed healthcare plan could lower their Medicare Advantage benefits. Medicare Advantage plans are private plans purchased by Medicare patients to extend Medicare.
Congressman Dave Camp (R-Michigan), the top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, has written a letter to CMS, asking the agency to explain why it issued the "gag order" -- and why the order only applies to opponents of President Obama's healthcare plan.
Dave Camp (R-MI)"It really is unprecedented that you would say seniors don't have a right to know, that you would prevent them from getting the kind of information they need to be informed about what's going to happen to their benefits. And according to the Congressional Budget Office, their benefits are going to be reduced, or they're going to have higher co-pays if in fact either the House or Senate healthcare bill pass[es]," he contends.
"So, I think it's really important that we give people a chance to understand what's in these bills, [and] not try to rush them through or to hide what the policy changes are going to mean to individual seniors."

“Say anything you like. Just don’t say anything you don’t like.” - Old Soviet proverb.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You asking that You stop these people whose intend is on harming our country. They have already taken You out of the schools and allowed evil to come in. They think You don’t see, as they kill innocent babies. They call evil good and good evil. They acquit the guilty and condemn the innocent. They demand that we approve of their gay lifestyles and are forcing our children to be taught that its normal in some schools. They have put us into so much debt, that it will take Your mercy to keep us from financial ruin. They steal from the taxpayer and give it to evil organizations. The thing they want the most is power and control over us. They act as if they are kings and queens and not civil servants. They are taking away our freedoms and trashing our constitution.
They have no fear of You, and we know that the beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord. Please, open the eyes of every American to see that this is not a political game anymore, but rather it’s a life changer. Give people the wisdom and understanding to see they will regret the changes obama is trying to make. Please, let those who have been silent speak out and stand up.
Father, I also ask that if obama and/or anyone is doing something illegal, immoral or doing something that will harm this nation, let him/they be impeached. Give us concrete evidence that cannot be disputed.
Be with Your children during this difficult time. I pray that all people begin to call out to you, asking that obama and the liberals be stopped.
In Your Sons Name I pray.
Amen.
“Freedom of speech. Just watch what you say.” - Ice-T
muzzle Humana but AARP has weekly snail mail and email messages favoring Obamacare
This is just a taste of what government insurance competition will be like.
Amen.
Very good prayer (and we can’t pray too much!) ... only God can save us from this dark and dank administration.
Might I add EVIL to your comment?

Civilly DISOBEY THE GAG ORDER!!!!!
Can we order a “gag” on Zero?
Because HHS controls CMS (Medicare and Medi-Cal) she has the say over what any carrier who wants to do business as a Medicare provider or secondary provider is allowed to do....
They can send me the info and I’ll hand them out.Need about 10,000.
