From Kentucky:

U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Louisville, has called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent remarks slamming health insurers “inflammatory” and “misguided.”
Yarmuth made those characterizations in an Aug. 4 letter to Michael McCallister, chief executive of Louisville-based Humana.
The letter was written after Pelosi, D-Calif., said health insurers are the real “villains” in the battle for health-care reform and called the industry’s lobbying on the issue “almost immoral.”
Yarmuth — a second-term congressman who is an advisor to Pelosi on communicating the Democrats’ health-care message — distanced himself from those remarks in his letter to McCallister.
“Regrettably, with passions inflamed throughout the country, Speaker Pelosi recently made inflammatory statements that assailed the character of health insurers across the board. I unequivocally reject those misguided comments,” he wrote.
“Not only do such overtures distract from a constructive debate, they are simply untrue. That certain insurers have engaged in unscrupulous practices cannot be denied, but to paint an entire industry with a single stroke is unfair.”
