LA Times – White House declines to disclose visits by health industry executives:
Invoking an argument used by President George W. Bush, the Obama administration has turned down a request from a watchdog group for a list of health industry executives who have visited the White House to discuss the massive healthcare overhaul.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sent a letter to the Secret Service asking about visits from 18 executives representing health insurers, drug makers, doctors and other players in the debate. The group wants the material in order to gauge the influence of those executives in crafting a new healthcare policy.
And yeah, I criticized Cheney for not revealing those energy execs, too. If you’ll recall Cheney eventually had to disclose the execs by court order.
