This is the same tactic used by the NAZI’s in Germany during the Fascist takeover under Hitler.
The question now stands. Will the InsCos tell them to pound sand?
"Are you now or have you ever been a CEO?!"
“House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), chairman of the panel’s subcommittee on oversight and investigations”
This is just a standing “witch hunt” political inquisition. It nauseates me, as it should all true Americans.
Don’t they need a subpoena?
You know, it won’t be too much longer before henry nostrilitis and his ilk try to make it illegal for any industry to perform a neccesary function while turning a profit.
If henry really wanted to do something for the good of this country perhaps he could stop emitting CO2 for a day, that would work.
Or as they're known in the developing world; "Show trials".
Were I a Insurance Exec I would demand to see the Gov's books on Medicare/Madicaid before producing any documenation.
I feel safe in saying that the will be billions unaccounted for in those books, if they even exist.
I predict that some lefty prosecutor out there with designs on being the next Judge Sonia is going to trump-up a reason to serve a search warrant on a BC/BS partner or other large insurer, so that we can be treated to video of their “opulent executive offices” for the next six weeks.
Note to the Nazis. Come and get the information!

Blog post about the article. I’m waiting for someone to show me the constitutional powers that allow them to do this?
I know ragging on someone’s looks is gratuitous, but, honestly...how in the world did Waxman get so ugly? Was he the victim of some terrible accident? I’ve never seen a nose like that outside of botched plastic surgery.
And does he have the authority to compel the executives to comply?
Of course they’ll be afraid not to “comply”, otherwise they’ll have crushing audits every second and a gov’t with 10 trillion dollars behind it to pay for it.
Just loving compassion, do what I say and typical nothing new tyranny.
