But they made their point. The chill has descended.

If it were not for watch dogs like Fox news and talk radio, the Onbama administration would have long ago virtually suppressed free speech. Needless to say the MSM could care less and at least some like MSNBC/NBC are already propaganda arms of the Obama administration.

Free Speech Refined: "You can talk now."
Oh, thank you Dear Leader. PUKE!!!!

Whatever do they mean...Opt out??? Don't open it!!

I just got a notice from my GOVERNMENT APPROVED" HMO...telling me that my premium (for this supllement to Medicare A & B) will be going up 58% BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT CUTS....

I am licensed with several different health insurance companies. Full disclosure, in a journalistic sense, requires that I make that clear.
Humana is one of several companies that I represent.
This posting is not intended as advertising, but as political commentary.
I am not making any offer to sell any investment or any insurance product, through my postings at Free Republic.
Furhermore, I am not licensed in every State, to sell such products, and, therefore, could not sell any of those products to anyone reading this post.
Investment offers are made only by prospectus.
Insurance offerings, especially CMS or Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services regulated products, are only made through authorized sales presentations.
This is NOT a sales presentation.

There -— everything I just posted, above, is, pretty much, required before I tell you anything on investment or insurance products for seniors.

Free speech? Well, by the time you get through with all the disclaimers, much of the audience is asleep or has scrolled past the post, huh?

They could put ‘Tear this up if you don’t want to read it’ on the envelopes.

“private insurers can send seniors information on health-related issues as long as they allow their members to opt out of receiving the communications”

And where in the Constitution does the federal government acquire the authority for this regulation? It would appear that the Commerce Clause is in conflict with the First Amendment-any first year law student can tell you in such conflicts, the First Amendment is a favored right. The truth is, no one seems concerned about such mundane technicalities these days...

[Logical me]

King Obama and his communists criminals. Any doubt? Once they have control of the health care industry they will slap doctors and the private insurance around. The doctors will be forced to work under penalty of forfeit their license and private insurance will be forced out, period....

Really? That is very big of you.

However, you have no right to even set a condition on 1st amendment rights and privileges.

When the government can infringe upon your God given right, they are Facists.

They don’t write the content but, they will shape it by intimidation, sanction and government powers.
