Misleading letters for Medicare Customers

Senior Issues Task Force and Interested Regulators:

The attached letter from the NAIC was sent to the the Finance Committee
today, in response to reports that Humana has sent letters to
policyholders intended to alarm them about proposed changes contained in
federal health reform efforts. I have attached a copy of the letter
signed by Commissioners Sevigny and Praeger -- as well as copies of CMS'
letters to Humana and other MA plans, and a copy of Chairman Baucus'
press release on this issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, if you hear any
reports of similar communications being disseminated by agents/brokers,
or by non-Medicare Advantage (state-regulated) plans, please let us
know.

Thanks!
