(CNN) -- White House officials have pressured insurance industry executives to keep quiet amid mounting criticism over Obamacare's rollout, insurance industry sources told CNN.
After insurance officials publicly criticized the implementation, White House staffers contacted insurers to express their displeasure, industry insiders said.
Multiple sources declined to speak publicly about the push back because they fear retribution.
Can people keep plans under Obamacare?
Keeping Obamacare's promises
Obamacare's messaging problem But Bob Laszewski, who heads a consulting firm for big insurance companies, did talk on the record.
"The White House is exerting massive pressure on the industry, including the trade associations, to keep quiet," he said.
Laszewski, who's been a vocal critic of Obamacare, said he's been asked by insurance executives to speak out because they feel defenseless against an administration that is regulating their business -- and a big customer.

When it is only one party, and the Democrat Party at that with a record of extortion, thuggery, etc it isn’t bodily harm so much the wealthy fear, but regulatory harm the extortionist party can conjure to make them penniless in short order.
BIG business, primarily the transnational corporations with no allegiance to any nation, or anything but their bottom line are usually well stocked with Chief officers, and boards of directors quite friendly to Marxist organizations. Those Chief Officers see to it the political funding is directed to those organizations, and little or nothing to the opposition. Most of those Chief Officers, and Directors are active in the Democrat Party, Democrat circles.
Er.... they just did.
There may indeed be a backlash, but remember: We are dealing with Machiavelli, reincarnated. Obama will burn the whole ****ing thing down. He does not care.
Not a good thing to say but I understand your feelings. I loath the man but he is the President. I loath what he has done to my nation.
The left seat of Air Force One is the most prestigious seat in the Air Force. If I were that pilot I would request a transfer or resign my commission.
And the tyranny goes on....
Long deified “The Prince” in the msm & anecdotal press he somehow manages to still lie, lie , lie & more lie. imho he’s beyond caring & it that should be accepted fact amongst conservatives who love their country.
If that is an accepted fact it should spur others to come out/speak against, etc.. this type of constitutional shredding. There are good people in high places who have dared to speak out & this fight is being fought by some of the best and brightest .
Every day I ask myself why type of hypnoric state people are in & have been to accept this gutting - the economy,priv. enterprise, the military, etc... by an alinskyite. John McCain is a perfect example if you remember when he & Lindsay Graham went over there & came back in freaking praise of al-qaeda in syria and they themselves have become quisling republicans.
What is it that makes men lose their minds? Is it blackmail? Is it neuro-linguistic programming? Is it (fill in the blank)?
“Obama will burn the whole ****ing thing down”- I would say he’s the kind of individual that he would make sure he benefits first before everything has gone down in flames;that’s the kind of person he is-do you remember a quote by him? I don’t exactly remember what the question was but it had to do with him personally & “walking away” & he said “for 100 million dollars) he would-you know, walk away. He named his price. He would never let a crisis go to waste.
And you know what is most confusing? Regular people (liv’s) don’t understand all of this-they just believe w/o research or a contrary opinion- they believe anything.
Anyone who has ever studied history and political science will know when studying Machiavelli you will wind up studying Marxism , too.
well,I could certainly write out my entire opinion which would most likely take days but we don’t have that kind of time and time is of the essence in rebutting and refuting
the policies of this admin that is turning our nation into a godless one.
GMC dealerships were closed by the gubmint for less.
