The DCI Group [3], a lobbying and public relations firm known for creating front groups [4] for industry clients and Republican campaigns, is behind a new anti-health reform front group, the Coalition to Protect Patients' Rights (CPPR). "CPPR has been organizing lobbying efforts against health reform and publishing op-eds across the country with misinformation about the public option," reports Think Progress. "While it is unclear who is funding" the CPPR / DCI campaign, "DCI has in the past worked for health insurance companies. In 2002, the American Prospect reported that DCI had been hired by the Health Benefits Coalition [5], a trade association of for-profit HMOs trying to 'thwart congressional action on the patients' bill of rights.'" DCI has also worked for the tobacco industry [6], setting up fake "smokers' rights [7]" groups to fight public health measures.
