He calls them out on doing the insurance company's bidding and how they consider the Mariana Islands to be state in their bill. He mentions Jack Abramoff's ties lobbying for the islands and their sweatshops etc.

1. It is the sexiest thing to know that DeFazio is my Congressman.
He is 100% the REAL deal. Really. If he were to ever run for Senate or the presidency- sweet Jesus. I still cannot believe how spoiled we are by having him in Oregon. Thank you for posting.

6. Wow
We were saying the insurance companies were going to go to the state(s) with the least regulations if the "buy insurance across state lines" plan was implemented. I guess we were right and the right is trying to turbo-charge this concept.

9. so obvious- how can they face the public with this kind of crap?
the mariana islands to be considered a "state" for insurance companies to offshore to avoid regulation to screw customers MORE than they already are doing? That's there solution? are they fukin crazy? This story has legs and should hit the front pages and talk shows- epitomizes the republican party corruption, dishonesty and shill politics.

11. There are some heroes in Congress.
Rep. DeFazio is certainly one of them.
