Republicans bravely jump to the defense of the insurance industry.

Loyal opposition,indeed.




House Republicans on Thursday called for a hearing to examine the Obama administration's decision to probe a major insurance company, at the behest of Sen. Max Baucus, over a mailer to customers about health care legislation -- a move they call a politically motivated "gag order" on critics of the Democratic plan.

Republican criticism has swelled since the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launched a probe into Humana, at the request of Baucus, D-Mont., over a mailer Baucus claimed misled seniors about proposed changes to Medicare.

Humana, one of the largest private carriers serving seniors under the Medicare Advantage program, focused its mailer on the potential for cuts to the service, which were being debated in the Finance Committee on Thursday.

of Medicare. They deceived a lot of people and they should never have been able to use that name. Now this further deception and the Republicans rush to their aid now knowing Humana will return the favor with campaign donations. I'm just shocked that Baucus isn't jumping on the bandwagon.
