Government Intervention today?

Not that I want to be as paranoid as Nathaniel Delaney, but this is a quote from the White House blog:

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

Is it just me or are the similarities in Plague Journal and this email uncanny, and somewhat scary!
