White House officials have pressured insurance industry executives to keep quiet amid mounting criticism over Obamacare's rollout, insurance industry sources told CNN.

[snip] After insurance officials publicly criticized the implementation, White House staffers contacted insurers to express their displeasure, industry insiders said.

Multiple sources declined to speak publicly about the push back because they fear retribution.

[snip] "The White House is exerting massive pressure on the industry, including the trade associations, to keep quiet," he said.

Laszewski, who's been a vocal critic of Obamacare, said he's been asked by insurance executives to speak out because they feel defenseless against an administration that is regulating their business -- and a big customer.

This from CNN? NBC runs a story calling out obabm for his ‘like your plan keep your plan’ and CBS’ 60 Minutes does a fairly good job on Benghazi. Looks like obama’s halo has fallen off. The next thing is to watch out for Congressional rats building seperation from him. He’s truly a lame duck and they don’t want any of his stench sticking to them. Too late boys...you all smell like sh*t and everyone know it. You’re going to take a beating in 2014.

Big difference——not anymore. These insurance company geniuses are the same bunch of clowns who supported Okenyoncare thinking they were going to get 30 million new , young, healthy customers. They got in bed with the devil hmself and now they find he’s hogging the hot water bottle. No sympathy here and they need to be sued mercilously for the damage they’ve done.

I’ve been saying this for a long time. Obama is Hitler and the press is Goebbels (sp?). The insurance companies knew this in 2010. The only people who didn’t know it were the democrats who voted for it.

One could say that upon hearing this information, its truly amazing and a sign of desperation. But, with this administration its par for the course. Unfortunately, some of us are either numb, don’t care or are supportive of these practices that not one person will be called out on it.
