Former CIGNA Exec Has Stinging Words For Health Insurers

A former media relations executive from CIGNA turned dramatically against health insurers at a Senate committee hearing Wednesday, calling the industry an "untrustworthy" partner for its customers and "duplicitous" in blocking meaningful health care reform.

Our Governor Rell has the opportunity TODAY to stand up to the health insurance industry which, explains Potter, "Is using its massive wealth and influence to determine what is (and is not) included in the health care reform..."

She can sign the comprehensive health care reform bill now on her desk: "SustiNet." With SustiNet, there are no exclusions (or price jack-ups) for pre-existing conditions. No claims-deniers who get bonuses every time they say, "Sorry, but NO - that's not covered." The care is QUALITY care. And everyone can choose to stay with their existing plan, OR choose any other private plan, OR choose quality, affordable SustiNet coverage.

I think the governor will do the right thing.
