Obama's Health Secretary threatens the free speech rights of insurance companies

From Hot Air, we learn that HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, has issued threats to the insurance companies who bad mouth the governments health care system. She issued this statement (in part):

President Barack Obama’s top health official on Thursday warned the insurance industry that the administration won’t tolerate blaming premium hikes on the new health overhaul law.

“There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a letter to the insurance lobby.

“Simply stated, we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium hikes and increased profits on the requirement that they provide consumers with basic protections,” Sebelius said. She warned that bad actors may be excluded from new health insurance markets that will open in 2014 under the law. They’d lose out on a big pool of customers, as many as 30 million people nationwide. . . . . READ THE ARTICLE

And there you have it, a clear assault on the first amendment. This bunch in our White House are enemies of the State, opposed to the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, limited opposition to the 4th and 5th amendments, most definitely the 9th and 10th amendments, and the 11th amendment in that the Feds are suing the sovereign state of Arizona.

Understand that the these amendments have been under attack for more than a decade, perhaps dating back to the days immediately after WW I. But under Obama, the process has become obvious. Obama has surrounded himself with Marxist radicals, admittedly Marxist radicals. They are everywhere in the Capitol.
Five days before the November elections, he famously told a crowd, "We are five days from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." Everyone cheered. No one had a clue as what he met.

Now we know.
