All over the media members of Congress who oppose significant reform have cited the Lewin Group as source for their information. The Washington Post has dug beneath the surface and found that this group in neither non-partisan, nor independent, but a wholly owned mouthpiece of UnitedHealth Group. This is the same company whose 2nd Quarter profits rose more than 155% over the same quarter last year, in the midst of a recession no less. The same insurance company that paid its former CEO over $1.5 Billion in compensation as he left the company amidst a scandal.
Where is all this money coming from, you, me, anyone that has their insurance through them or one of their subsidiaries. They get this by taking in more money and paying for less care. If we get the reform we seek, their executives might have to look elsewhere for their privat e jets and multi-million dollar compensation packages. Oh and not to mention probably less of a likelihood that their insurance claims will be denied for some nebulous reason.
Pass this on and make your voice heard.
