The health insurance industry is hard at work to protect their profits in Colorado.

I've been getting "Push Poll" calls from a place called "Datapolres" on my caller ID, showing this number, 7033788323, which when dialed, is met with a message saying, "this number has been disconnected."

Here's a site about this number: http://whocalled.us/lookup/7033788323

Upon answering the call, a series of leading questions are asked, starting with, "Are you in favor of, or against the government having complete access to your health care records?"

They aren't, of course, looking for or recording a response. They are planting a seed, so to speak. The clear implication is that my privacy is being threatened in some way.

Gosh- what could be then source of this threat? Let me guess. Health care reform?

Further proof that these people are out of control, and need to be neutered like a pit bull.

After that, I utter an expletive, and hang up. I haven't heard the rest of the questions. I'll be more patient next time.

Anybody else been getting these calls?
