Wendell,

After so many years as an insider, your courage to speak out about the abuses of the U.S. health insurance industry is refreshing and admirable.

There are many pigs feeding at the trough of the U.S. healthcare dollar (to use Uwe Reinhardt's apt metaphor), but the health insurance industry is one of the biggest, baddest, and most slippery.

Please continue to use your considerable PR expertise and experience, and knowledge of the industry, to help us ordinary citizens counter the massive propoganda and lobbying campaign now being waged to counter meaningful reform of U.S. healthcare. Just preaching to the choir is not going to get anything done. We may be oupspent and outmanned, but this is STILL a democracy, isn't it?
