Opposition to HIMMA Grows

I've commented on the Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization and Affordability Act here, here and here.  This week come two more comments against HIMMA.  First, a letter to Senator Obama from the Illinois Division of Insurance that you can find in the library of this website.  The letter raises a number of well founded concerns including preemption of state statutes and protection of consumer rights. 

Second, the National Association of Attorneys General sent a letter to all Senators last week basically arguing that HIMMA will substitute weak federal regulations for strong state consumer protections that are currently in place.
