		<description><![CDATA[Dreyfus, who started is well-paid stint at BCBS as the guy doling out the hush money from Blue Cross and Blue Shield MA to Health Care for All and every other &quot;advocacy&quot; group with a staff and a budget... and now Dreyfus was promoted to a Vice President! Surprise, surprise.  Wonder if he&#039;ll get a similar $20Mil payout when he leaves, as did Bill VanFaasen.

Anyone know how much BCBS exec Peter Meade got when he recently left MA BCBS to work for an ad agency that has BCBS as a client?  As long as we&#039;re on the topic of health care &quot;cost control&quot; it surely is relevant, isn&#039;t it???

P.S. Brian, your blather about &quot;John taught us...there&#039;s the conversation then there&#039;s the game...&quot; is truly pathetic.  Don&#039;t you get it yet?  HCFA MA is now a part of the PROBLEM, not the solution?  Time to redeem yourselves before more lives are needlessly lost and more hundreds of million$ are squandered on this fake &quot;reform&quot; law.]]></description>
