She is defending against some withering assaults from the White House over AHIP’s recent study. The White House is really going after AHIP on this one, even threatening legislative retribution that would revoke their anti-trust exemptions. Other groups must be watching this carefully as they decide how to weigh in on health reform. The Karen Ignagni article was interesting.

They are fighting an unending battle against inconvenient facts. The only surprise on the cost curve finding is that the Obama White House denies it.
