This bill is not a retaliatory action over the Price Waterhouse Cooper report. This is an amended version of a bill that Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt attempt to get passed last year. It failed because some that that Leahy's legislation would strip states of some of their rights. <br /><br />The the test appears as if it would not affect states' ability to regulate the business of insurance...but...does strip the strip insurance industry of theire exemption for violations, such as price fixing, bid rigging and market allocation.<br /><br />I certainly hope that this bill gets passed. It is long over due.skericherihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08103239021501276962noreply@blogger.com
