Call your Senators to support the Health Insurance Antitrust Enforcement Act

Here's a quick action: Call your senators to support the Health Insurance Antitrust Enforcement Act. This act revokes health insurance exemption from Federal antitrust laws, an exemption that's stood since 1945.

Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) are leading the fight to revoke this exemption. They support the “Health Insurance Antitrust Enforcement Act” which Sen. Schumer is working to include in the final Senate health insurance reform bill or as an amendment on the Senate floor.

Watch the Judiciary committee hearings or read the statements of Senators Leahy and Reid here and listen to Sen. Schumer on MSNBC October 14 on lack of competition and monopolization in the insurance market.
