This is why I support Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 10:14 In these days of ideological posturing, obstructionism and a ‘citizens be damned’ attitude by those only in Congress to advance their careers and enlarge their wallets, it’s like a ray of warm sunshine when one of our politicians can stand up to an industry and do what is right.
Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, (D-NV) went before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify on the Health Insurance Industry Antitrust Enforcement Act of 2009 (S. 1681), a bill of which Reid is an original cosponsor. The bill was introduced by one of my heros, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-VT.
The bill is described as: A bill to ensure that health insurance issuers and medical malpractice insurance issuers cannot engage in price fixing, bid rigging, or market allocations to the detriment of competition and consumers
Damned straight!
