A little lobbying on your lunch break? A consumer group says health insurers WellPoint Inc. and Minnesota-based UnitedHealth
Group pressured their employees to speak to members of Congress against health care reform proposals that the companies disagreed
with, the Associated Press reported. In a letter to California Attorney General Jerry Brown, the group Consumer Watchdog maintains
that both companies violated state labor laws. The attorney general’s office said it is reviewing the letter. Indianapolis-based
WellPoint, in an e-mail to employees, asserted that proposed health care legislation could cause tens of millions of Americans
to lose private health coverage and end up in a government-run insurance plan. Other consequences, the e-mail said, could
include limited choice for customers, and increased premiums for those with private coverage due to new mandates and coverage
requirements. "We believe it is important and permissible to provide up-to-date information about health reform to our
associates," spokeswoman Cheryl Leamon said in an e-mail.
 
Health records are now flying around the
state. At least part of the state. The Indianapolis-based Indiana Health Information Exchange last week began sharing electronic
medical records with two similar organizations across a multi-regional network. Connecting with HealthLINC in Bloomington
and HealthBridge in Cincinnati creates the nation’s first exchange of medical information among such organizations in different
regions, Indiana Health Information Exchange officials said.

Now, for example, if a patient is admitted to
a hospital in Indianapolis, physicians at his or her doctor’s office in Bloomington will be able to access the patient’s medical
information via the Internet, including test results and radiology notes. Together, the three exchanges connect more than
15,000 physicians, 50 hospitals and 12 million patient records. Initially, the Indiana Health Information Exchange will send
medical records to HealthLINC and HealthBridge providers. Full interconnectivity, in which information will flow among all
exchanges, should begin in mid-September.

The Indiana Health Industry Forum will hold a day-long summit on health
reform today. Various panels will address different aspects of reform and its potential impact. Panelists include Dr. John
Fitzgerald, CEO of the Indiana Clinic, Dhan Shapurji, a director at Deloitte Consulting, Bart Peterson, Eli Lilly and Co.’s
senior vice president of corporate affairs and communications, and Dr. Thomas Inui, CEO of Regenstrief Institute Inc. The
summit will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at University Place Conference Center on the IUPUI campus.

Eli Lilly and Co. and its peers might be back in Congress’ sights as lawmakers hunt for more ways to cut health care costs.
A study published in an influential journal concludes that European drugmakers operating in markets with drug price controls
have produced proportionally more innovations than their U.S. counterparts. The study undercuts an argument made over and
over again by Lilly execs that health reform must preserve profit potential for pharmaceuticals so companies can afford to
keep pumping out innovative new drugs.

No charges will be filed against the 9-year-old who led Greenfield police on a high-speed chase through two counties on Aug.
29. Officials say they won’t file charges because they’re more worried about the boy’s mental health. The child is receiving
counseling at a hospital.

A locally based grass-roots organization wants lawmakers to switch Indiana from the eastern to the central time zone. The
group says it’s a safety issue for children who go to school in the dark. Indianapolis experiences about 120 days annually
when the sun comes up before 7 a.m. while Chicago has more than 270, the group says.

A panel will hear public testimony Sept. 15 on whether Indiana should reverse its ban on Sunday alcohol sales. This afternoon,
an interim study committee will begin what it’s calling a fact-finding mission. Currently, Hoosiers can buy alcohol on Sundays
if they’re at a restaurant, a Colts game or a winery, but retail sales at liquor stores and grocery stores are not allowed.
Fox 59 will have more at 10 p.m.
