Title: Eliminating Health Insurance Industry's Anti-Trust Exemption Post by: FOTD on February 03, 2010, 12:47:56 pm http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/2010/02/02/the-house-will-eliminate-health-insurances-anti-trust-exemption-next-week/
So, start bashing Pelosi, Guido et al. Have at her: " She said that, among other things, eliminating the exemption will allow the federal government to investigation collusion and price-fixing among insurers." More laws to oppress our fellow corporation persons? It won't pass the Senate and Oklahoma Senaturds will no doubt protect the anti-trust exemption for insurers and medical malpractice companies... perfect. It's gonna be a great November everywhere but here. Title: Re: Eliminating Health Insurance Industry's Anti-Trust Exemption Post by: guido911 on February 03, 2010, 01:26:30 pm I have done little research on this aspect of healthcare reform so I have no opinion. I am curious though. If there is price fixing and collusion, why can't the government investigate that now? I mean, I know what "anti-trust" is, but does the anti-trust exemption expressly permit those activities? I will look into it and get educated.
