ADA Urges Legislators To Reexamine McCarran-Ferguson Law. The ADA News (4/12, Garvin) reports that on Tuesday the ADA submitted written testimony to the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust, competition policy and consumer rights, urging committee members to reexamine the antitrust exemption enjoyed by health insurance companies due to the 1945 McCarran-Ferguson law. The current debate regarding health care reform requires serious consideration of any and all means t...o introduce competition and make health insurance affordable for all Americans, wrote the Association. An important step toward achieving these objectives is eliminating the outdated antitrust exemption that grants health insurers special status, and permits them to ignore the competitive rules that apply to every other U.S. business. The Association concluded by stating it strongly supports the Competitive Health Insurance Reform Act, which would authorize the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department to ‘enforce the federal antitrust laws against health insurance companies engaged in anticompetitive conduct’ and would not interfere with the states’ ability to enforce their own regulations, antitrust statues and consumer protection laws.

Finally! Govt catches up! California Enacts Legislation Aimed At Increasing Dental Benefits Transparency. The Dental Tribune (1/3) reported that California Governor Jerry Brown (D) has signed legislation into law that will bring increased accountability and transparency to dental insurance plans in California, according to the California Dental Association. The bill will require California dental benefits plans to report how patients’ premiums are spent while also putting the state on a path to establish a minimum percentage of premium dollars that must be spent on patient care. The Dental Tribune added that a similar provision in the Affordable Care Act stipulates that medical benefits plans spend at least 80 percent of patient premiums on patient care.
