"It is outrageous that the Obama administration is trying to keep seniors in the dark about the consequences of congressional Democrats' costly government-run health care bills," House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said.

McConnell called the notice to insurance companies a "gag order, enforced through an agency of the federal government."
