The Waxman We Know & Love - & The List Of Insurance Companies Mean Old Henry Is Picking On!
Edited on Wed Aug-19-09 07:45 PM by kpete
{i]Is Congress going to vote for the American people, or the insurance industry?


Waxman is asking for the following by September 4:


***** A table listing the total compensation for every employee making more than $500,000 a year
***** A table listing board member compensation
***** A table listing off-site conferences and retreats
***** A table listing the company's total revenue and net income

And the following by September 14:

***** Communication with the board on compensation packages
***** Tables listing premium revenue, claims payments, and sales expenses

And here's the list of insurance companies mean old Henry is picking on. http://energycommerce.house.gov/Press_111/20090819/List_Insurer_Letters.pdf In case you wondering, Mrs. Bayh's company, Wellpoint, is on that list. I would imagine that after these details become public--just as the debate between the House and Senate picks up--Evan Bayh might think a little differently about how he represents the interests of--as Mrs. Greenspan calls them--the conservative Democrats in Indiana. Likewise, once Waxman has the details of the retreats that some of those obstructing reform have attended, it may change their commitment to obstruction pretty quickly.

As Marcy says, that's the Waxman we know and love.
