What If Cuccinelli Had Sent that Letter to Planned Parenthood?

The following analogy may help to explain why everyone should be troubled by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ efforts to intimidate insurance companies who say unflattering things about ObamaCare.


Last month, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli ®, issued an opinion that state regulatory boards already have the authority to impose additional regulations on abortion clinics. Critics pounced, claiming that the measure could shut down 17 of the state’s 21 clinics. What if Cuccinelli responded with a letter threatening to investigate clinics that “misinform” the public about the costs of such regulation?
