House takes on insurance industry

8 February 2010 269 views No Comment

House Democrats are taking aim at the insurance industry in the coming week.

While the fate of comprehensive health care reform remains unclear, House Democrats are looking to push through more targeted legislation. A bill that comes before the House this week is one that would repeal the anti-trust exemption the insurance industry has enjoyed for 65 years.

Supporters say the repeal is needed to increase competition and give consumers more choices.

The antitrust provision was part of the bill the House passed last year but was not included in the senate version.
