Lewin Group FAIL

This is a new one.

Imagine you're an insurance company making billions of dollars by charging people tons of money for health care. Now, imagine there's a reform bill in Congress that could end your stranglehold on the market, forcing you to lower your prices and improve your services.

How would you respond? By buying your own think tank to generate anti-health reform studies, of course.

No, this isn't another HAARM plot, this is really happening. Click here to watch the video: seiu.org/lewin

Fight the insurance industry's fake research

It gets worse. Republicans in Congress are actually playing along. Not only are they citing these studies from the Lewin Group with a straight face, they're using words like "independent," and "non-partisan" to describe it. What they're forgetting to say is that their research firm is "owned by a private insurance company," and "completely biased when it comes to health care."

This is bad - even for Washington. Will you call out the GOP? Use Twitter to tell them to stick to the facts on health care: seiu.org/lewin

This is the most important week yet in the movement to fix health care; we can't waste a single minute with distorted truths and biased stats. Help us put the conversation back on track.
