OPM can never let this happen again.

vigorous competition in the health insurance industry is essential to lower health insurance premiums for consumers as well as businesses.

I urge your committees to find a way to correct these wrongs, and NTEU pledges to work with you on that.

It is my pleasure today to welcome and introduce Justice Louis Butler to this Committee.
