David Balto: Another Dennis Leone (for consumers)?

From John Curry, July 16, 2009
Subject: David Balto and 20 pages....if you ever read anything about consumer protection and healthcare, PLEASE read this......

..testimony to the U.S. Senate by a former Federal Trade Commission's attorney re. healthcare insurance companies and pharmacy benefits managers. It WILL open your eyes. It is a long read but it is earthshaking.

We retirees owe it to ourselves to become informed of the practices (many of which are not to our benefit) that affect our lives and, in this case...our wallets. I'll end this by saying that David Balto is the Dennis Leone of the healthcare consumer protection movement....if you like Dennis, you'll like David!

John
