"removal of the anti-trust exemption"??

[inna]

I've heard/read this claim several times today, but to the best of my knowledge, that claim is simply not true.


Unless I missed something. Please talk me down, I'd LOVE to be wrong on this.

1. I think it was removed in the Senate but its been raised in another seperate bill

Just going of the top of my head thou.

2. I thought it was passed as an amendment a few weeks ago

3. Senate needs to take up the bill

which could take about 40 years. :sarcasm:

4. HR 4626--Health Insurance Industry Fair Competition Act

anti-trust needs to be taken up separately, because of the latest anti-trust rulings from the robert's court. You want a repeal to be airtight, and there's no way to squeeze it into the HRC bill.

Frankly, it needs to come from Judiciary, not Ways and Means.
