   Looks like the action was effective in getting at least minimal attention brought by congress.

   Cost a lot less than UHC's spent on lobbying them, too.

     My head is trying to compose a bad pun involving "Upton Funk" around a beef packing plant but I can't seem to meet that beat.

     This is how they have chosen to transact negotiations, huh.

     And given the rapidity, they already knew what they would have to do.

     They could have done this anytime in the last several years, but chose not to until this moment.

     This is so exasperatingly awful. None of this was ever necessary. They chose to insist on this as their mechanism to start doing anything at all to fix a situation they full well understood in detail.
