In recent years, executives from every corner of the health care industry have found themselves in the hot glare of television lights as they raise their right hand and are sworn to tell the truth by the chairman of a congressional investigative committee. Scores of health plans, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and other entities have received subpoenas and letters of inquiry and been summoned to meet with congressional investigators.
