Papantonio: Force the Insurance Industry to Operate in Free Market
« on: November 28, 2009, 04:31:48 PM »


For decades, the insurance industry has been able to operate outside the legal reach of the federal government when it comes to things like price-fixing and anti-trust laws. But the proposed reforms to healthcare in America could take away that exemption for them.

I agree that they should compete.  However, I also am fearful that the govt will place so many shackles on the terms of the playing field as to make it a sham.

Yes, but the govt is the one who oks the premiuim increases, sets the regulations in terms of what carriers have to cover, etc.  The govt granted the anitrust exemtption etc.

I agree with what a lot of what that guy said, but this bill in the senate does not do that.
