    Such polar opposites in messages. They're showing their true colors, it isn't about making you healthy, it's about "treating" you, taking all your money on the way, and letting their "problem" "expire" . . . how quick they are to hand you over to "alternative" forms of care (i.e. less expensive to them).

    So maybe the aren't really trying to hide anything.

    Hopefully we don't see a UPS commercial: "You deserve the Brown Shirt treatment."

    Heeyooo!

    Well they do/did have "What can Brown do for you?" ad campaign.

    Another ad campaign that was poor. HAP health plan came into my area just after the Orange County, Califorina treasury mismanagment. HAP's color being orange they stated that Genesee County is now Orange County.

    I saw the news item at TrekToday, but somehow seeing the picture makes it that much better. Talk about a PR blunder (Though What can brown do for you has inexplicably lasted, so who knows).
