House Approves Health Care Antitrust Act
On February 24, 2010, the House of Representatives approved H.R. 4626, the “Health Insurance Industry Fair Competition Act,” by a vote of 406 to 19. The bill, which would repeal the antitrust exemption for health insurance companies provided under the McCarran-Ferguson Act, now moves to the Senate, where it could be considered as part of broader health reform legislation.
