Summary
August 11, 2009: According to a "whistleblower" - a former executive with a major American health insurance corporation - are behind many of the current disruptions of town hall meetings, as well as other disinformation currently being spread to stop the current attempts at health care reform. Their reason for this is that their profits have skyrocketed by 400% from 2000 to 2007, and now they fear a reduction in those profits.
