GOP Blocking More Obama Nominees -- To Defend Humana Letter Scaring Seniors

WASHINGTON — The Senate's top Republicans say they won't allow President Barack Obama to fill health posts until his administration stops barring insurers from telling seniors about Democrats' plans to overhaul the health care system.
Republicans wrote to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Thursday demanding she lift what they called a "gag order."
Their threat is retaliation after a federal agency told Humana Inc. and other private companies that contract with Medicare to stop sending elderly customers information about the overhaul's potential effects on their benefits.
Humana sent seniors a mailing saying the bill could slash their benefits. Democrats deny the charge, but Congress' top, nonpartisan budget official says it could be true. LinkHere
