Break Up Insurance Monopolies

The Issue



America has had a pretty sweet
deal for decades.

They can pick and choose their customers and deny coverage to
anyone with any sort of pre-existing condition -- even acne.
They can get away with dropping your coverage when you get sick.

And since 1945 they have been exempt from the antitrust
regulations that apply to nearly every other industry, rules
that protect consumers from anti-competitive business practices
like price-fixing.

That's why I just sent a letter to Congress, supporting the
Health Insurance Industry Antitrust Enforcement Act, which will
eliminate the outdated insurance industry antitrust exemption,
and force health insurance companies to compete fairly -- like
virtually every other business in America.

Please join me by sending a letter to your members of Congress
as well:

Mary AcostaPetition StarterI voted as a Democrate but I would love to see a third party come to fruition. After 5 years of working for the schools, lay offs have left me unemployed. Who got the bail out? Not the working families of America. So, now maybe people will get out and take a look at the status quo and what it has done to the poor. Also, there must be health care for all and justice for all. <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2011/4/11/dont_punish_the_poor_economist_jeffrey" rel="nofollow">http://www.democracynow.org/2011/4/11/dont_punish_the_poor_economist_jeffrey</a>
