Health insurance anti-trust exemption
Did a provision to end the anti-trust exemption for health insurance companies make it into the House bill? I don't recall hear anything about it. Further, if the amendment to end it passes the Senate version, would it be likely to end up in the reconciliation bill even if it wasn't in the House bill?

Any insight is appreciated.

1. Yes, it's in there.
But, it's a giant gift to them. :sarcasm:

6. I predict the Ins Cos will go the way of big tobacco
They will be sued under control in the coming years.
