Democrats announced yesterday that HHS was investigating whether the insurer Humana was misleading seniors about health reform legislation. And CMS, the government entity within HHS that administers Medicare told Humana, in no uncertain terms, to cease and desist lobbying its customers on health reform legislation. The Note, authored by ABC News' Rick Klein, covers politics, the White House, Congress, Democrats, Republicans, and all latest political campaigning for the 2012 presidential race. Washington's first and most influential tipsheet, The Note will detail the administration of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and influential Cabinet members such as Secretary of State and former 2008 campaign rival Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration's relationship with former President Bill Clinton. ABC News' The Note keeps track of Washington controversy, scandal and the major issues facing the nation: the economy, recession, taxes, bailout, health care, social security and financial crisis.
