The US Government Threatens Health Insurers

The US Government took another step toward a more Socialist State today by sending letters to 52 insurance companies demanding "extensive documents for an examination of ‘extensive compensation and other business practices in the health insurance industry." (Politico)  Interesting enough, they never look in their own back yard for excessive spending of Tax payer's dollars, but feel compelled to look into private business's spending.  They have taken over the Auto Industry, the Banking Industry and now are working to take over the Health Care Industry. 

So now the US Government is applying a little Chicago Style Politics to the Insurance Companies who oppose a "Public" (Government Take Over) option health care plan.  Something the majority of Americans also oppose.  What types of strong arming can ordinary Americans expect?
