A major media source is reporting that the White House is putting pressure on insurance industry executives to keep quiet about the rocky rollout of Obamacare.
CNN is reporting that after a few insurance executives publicly criticized the disastrous implementation of Obamacare, White House staffer contacted them to express their displeasure.
“Multiple sources declined to speak publicly about the push back because they fear retribution,” CNN reports.
However, Bob Laszewski, who heads a consulting firm for big insurance companies, did agree to talk on the record.
“The White House is exerting massive pressure on the industry, including the trade associations, to keep quiet,” he said.
Laszewski, who is no fan of Obamacare, told CNN he was asked by insurance executives to speak out because they feel defenseless against the administration that is not only regulating their business, but is also a big customer.
They are also embarrassed about having to cancel so many policies, then force people into more expensive plans, and said they forewarned the White House that their regulations were going to lead to discontinued policies.
“One of the things I think is clear here is the Obama administration has no trust in anything the health insurance industry is telling them about how to run a health plan,” Laszewski said.
