House passes removal of anti-trust exemption for insurers
From Sandy Levin's Facebook post:

"The House just had a bipartisan vote of 406 - 19 to end the anti-trust exemption for insurance companies so that the Justice Department will be able to investigate price-fixing and collusion amongst insurance companies. We should be using all the tools at our disposal to bring down health care costs for Michigan families."

What are the chances it won't languish in the Senate?

3. If we could just disolve the Senate we'd be getting things done.
