Barack Obama is pressuring insurance companies to keep quiet about Obamacare

October 31, 2013

  According to this story the White House is putting intense pressure on the insurance companies to keep quiet about the disastrous results of Obamacare and the insurance companies are complying for the fear retribution if they speak out: 

The White House is pressuring insurance companies not to speak publicly about Obama administration policies that could eliminate the existing health insurance plans of millions of Americans.

The administration made “clarifications” to the 2010 Affordable Care Act after it was passed that have already wiped out hundreds of thousands of existing health plans.

“Basically, if you speak out, if you’re quoted, you’re going to get a call from the White House, pressure to be quiet,” said CNN investigative reporter Drew Griffin on Anderson Cooper 360 Wednesday night. Insurance companies executives, Griffin said, ask heads of consulting firms not to criticize the Obamacare rollout debacle publicly

“They feel defenseless before the White House P.R. team,” Griffin said. “The sources said they fear White House retribution.”

  Note the article I linked to above is using a report by CNN, not exactly a right wing organ.

  So, while Barack Obama, and the Democrats, are running around telling everybody who is still listening to them that it is the insurance companies’ fault that people are losing their healthcare coverage he knows that the insurance companies do not dare to give their side of the story.

  I believe this is called propaganda but let us look at what propaganda is just to be sure:

From Wikipedia: Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of the community toward some cause or position by presenting only one side of an argument. Propaganda statements may be partly false and partly true. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the chosen result in audience attitudes.

  Yep, that is propaganda alright! Control the message and you control both the agenda and the people and that is exactly what is happening under the most open and honest administration in US history. This is change we can believe in?

    Now, isn’t this a pip. I’ll bet, Obama knew nothing about strong arming the insurance companies and placing them under duress.

        It is good to finally see a little bit of push back on this.

    There is no surprise here. As we have been reading lately the ruling elite use shake down as their prefered method of transfering wealth. That is why no one should buy into OC. Let OC crash and burn!

    Me neither Steve. I would not enroll any more than I would sing winter solstice songs in the snow or patronize stores that greet you with Happy Holidays.

      I will pay the fine and take my chances. I won’t let Obama tell me what I have to purchase!
