Imagine you're an insurance company making billions of dollars by charging people tons of money for health care. Now, imagine there's a reform bill in Congress that could end your stranglehold on the market, forcing you to lower your prices and improve your services.
How would you respond? By buying your own think tank to generate anti-health reform studies, of course.

It gets worse. Republicans in Congress are actually playing along. Not only are they citing these studies from the Lewin Group with a straight face, they're using words like "independent," and "non-partisan" to describe it. What they're forgetting to say is that their research firm is "owned by a private insurance company," and "completely biased when it comes to health care."
These are the private groups who are scaring everybody about health care reform. Of course, the super rich insurance companies don't want a solution to this problem, they just want to keep on making that dollar while people die or lose everything because of our current health care state....
