I'm sure, sadly, that liberals and gov't health care proponents will simply have nothing critical to say about the full, ultimately armed, power of the state, in the hands of the left, imposing restrictions, prohibitions against an American company exercising its First Amendment Constitutional right to communicate with its constituents and customers.
Come on, wake up and smell the dank stench of statist intimidation.
