I haven't read much about the outrage being exhibited at town meetings to discuss the proposed healthcare reforms recently. Maybe they aren't considered "hard news" anymore. But there have been many articles written de-bunking many of the accusations made at the meetings.

In a recent CNN.com article it said...

"Wendell Potter, a former insurance company communications executive (VP of Public Relations at CIGNA), told CNN that the insurance industry deliberately spreads false information with the goal of disrupting the debate.

The insurance industry hires public relations firms that create front groups to try to destroy health care reform by using terms like 'government takeover of the health care system' or we are heading down a 'slippery slope toward socialism' or 'we're going to kill your grandma' because of these health care regulations,' said Potter, now a senior fellow at the Center for Media and Democracy, which calls itself a nonpartisan watchdog group on public relations spin.

Asked to respond to Potter's accusation, the director of strategic communications at America's Health Insurance Plans, Robert Zirkelbach, acknowledged in an e-mail Wednesday that the group opposes some aspects of Democratic health care proposals."
