Ninety-four percent rate increases in the last 2 years. Something clearly needs to be done to get them under control. This bill does that. It says that they will have to justify, they'll have to open their books, they'll have to explain, and if they can't, that those rates can be modified, consumers can get a rebate. Enough of their taking such tremendous advantage of American consumers.
