"Antitrust oversight in these industries would provide consumers with confidence that insurance companies are not colluding to raise prices artificially."

"I do not see how somebody can say with a straight face that they should not be subject to the same antitrust laws as everyone else."

"I want to commend him for holding this hearing."

"I believe it would lead to more competition and lower insurance costs, and basically what it says is that nobody is above the law."
