  • Your questions on politics and religion reflect a general lack of depth of understanding of the topics -- typically one-sided, loud-mouthed, and shallow.
  • The government in no way wants to punish Humana, it is asking Humana to stop lying!
  • An insurance company has an opinion about health care reform, where they stand to loose hundreds of millions of dollars? Really, do tell....
  • Put all the details in an email and pass it on to everyone you know....
  • Are you aware that Healthspring, in Tennessee, is also major factor in the problems with a new healthcare program in Washington? Healthspring is a major player in Medicare programming and Healthspring is the problem at this moment.
  • Humana is behaving like a bully. I think it's libelous and their customers should start a class action suit.
  • I think you meant "if the government gets ITS way YOU will LOSE all of these benefits..." The first thing to do is brush up on your grammar and spelling so you can write clearer questions! The second thing is be thankful that the company is telling the truth...
  • If Humana is telling the truth I would be concerned but if I had to pick to trust the government of Humana I would probably pick the government. Of course the best option would be to read or listen to the health care bill as it stands now (hearthebill.org) and then decide for myself which option is better.
  • "On September 21, 2009 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services opened an investigation into mass mailings sent by Humana to elderly Medicare recipients. The mail was made to appear to contain official information about Medicare Advantage and prescription drug benefit information, but instead alleged that core Medicare benefits could be cut by the Obama administration's healthcare reform, a claim refuted by the non-partisan website FactCheck and John Rother, AARP's executive vice president. Douglas Elmendorf, the head of the Congressional Budget Office, later supported the claim that Medicare benefits would be cut. However, his comments were in reference to just one of several bills being drafted in Congress, and CBO estimates of another healthcare reform bill found that changes to premiums would vary. Because these mailings may have been paid for by public money provided to Humana for Medicare Advantage and possibly violated terms of their contract, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services instructed Humana to cease all such mailings to Medicare plan members pending an investigation."
