In the last several days there have been encouraging stories in the media reporting that the U.S. Senate, as it mulls over the health care reform bill, is pushing hard to prevent health and medical malpractice insurance companies from fixing prices.
In 1945 Congress allowed insurers to become exempt from anti-trust regulations that guard against price-fixing. In a letter to President Obama, Senate leaders urged him to support the repeal of these exemptions, pointing out “These acts hurt consumers, drive up health care costs, and should be prohibited in the health insurance industry, as they are in virtually every other industry.”Post a Comment to "Senate Challenges Collusion by Medical Malpractice Insurance Companies"
