http://madamedefarge2scutinizingbcbsnc.blogspot.com/2009/05/raleighs-flim-flam-capstrat-pr-firm.html

Raleigh&#039;s flim flam Capstrat PR Firm works for BCBSNC and against public health insurance:&#039;We help corporations advance regulatory interests&#039;
 
Every so often you get a glimpse of the machinations behind the curtain and this is one of those pieces of investigative reporting. You GO Raleigh News Observer. 

See it shine here, detail after detail re: this Mr. Eudy, co-owner of Capstrat &amp; supporter of Obama. Listen to the low hum of those big wheels as they make mincemeat of the common person&#039;s desires for their government...... winding up his advertising merry-go-round, sneaking around the periphery of Obama&#039;s universal health care initiative-----in his sheep&#039;s clothing----all the while doing the work for BCBSNC, his boss-man.

This is all you need to know about Mr. Eudy:

&quot;We help corporations advance regulatory interests&quot;

&quot;Eudy was the best man at the wedding of Bob Greczyn (CEO BCBSNC)&quot;

&quot;CAPSTRAT&#039;S LARGEST CORPORATE CLIENTS: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina&quot;

&quot;Ken Eudy is one of Barack Obama&#039;s key supporters in North Carolina.&quot;

******************************************

Couple that to this week&#039;s WaPo article outlining how BCBSNC is using the ill gotten gains from not paying for patient care (as a BCBSNC Advanta insured member, in a 3 member healthy family, I cannot get reimbursed screening colonoscopies or mammograms; and there is no mental health parity tho a law was passed last year: BCBSNC was allowed by state legislature to OPT OUT) and this is what you got:

&#039;North Carolina&#039;s Blue Cross Blue Shield Trying to Kill Key Plank of Obama Plan.&#039;

&quot;......the company has hired an outside PR company to make a series of videos sounding the alarm about a government-sponsored health insurance option, known as the public plan....&quot;

YO: MR OBAMA: THAT BA-BA BLEATING IS A SHEEP DRESSED IN WOLF&#039;S CLOTHING.
