No one that is advocating for a national insurance charter in any way is suggesting that we lower consumer protections.
Since we started working on this issue, much has changed in our system. After committing nearly $200 billion of taxpayer dollars to AIG, the need for Federal regulatory oversight has never been greater.
I believe the subcommittee should move a comprehensive bill that establishes Federal regulation of all lines of insurance, property and casualty, reinsurance, and life.
