These bills would create an optional federal charter for nsurance.  Also advocate for H.R. 5840, the Insurance Information Act of 2008.  This bill would create an ffice of Insurance Information within the Treasury Department to provide federal expertise on insurance matters and international negotiations. Long Term Care Insurance:  Advocate in support of HR 3363 and S.2337, both titled the ""Long -term Care Affordability and Security Act of 2007.""  These bills would allow long-term care insurance to be offered in employer-sponsored cafeteria plans
flexible spending arrangements.

Annuities/Suitability:  Followed the drafting and then the introduction of S.2794, the ""Senior Investor Protection Act of 2008"", a bill which would hold insurance and securities companies liable for any potential mis-selling of their products by agents and brokers.  The bill also requires disclosures of fees, costs, and commissions.  Also contacted Senate staff on the annuities suitability issues, separate from the introduction of the bill.  Also followed SEC action on this issue.

The bill would also require any European insurer with policies written between 1900n and 1945 that may have involved holocaust victims to disclose all files on the policies, including names, to the U.S.

Credit-based insurance scores:  Lobbied against a bill introduced in the House, H.R. 5733, the ""Nondiscriminatory Use of Consumer Reports and Consumer Information Act of 2008"", which would restrict the ability of personal lines insurers to  use credit information for underwriting or setting rates.

Bond insurance:  Follow issue, including attending hearings, which is how the subprime crisis has affected the bond insurance industry and the municipal securities they insure.

Medicare secondary payer/workers compensation:  Follow issue, including trade association efforts to meet with the Centers for Medicare  and Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency at the Department of Health and Human Services.  CMS is working on guidance/rules on this issue and insurance trade associations are weighing in.

Broker licensing:  Followed introduction of bill H.R. 5611, the National Association of Registered Agents and Brokers Reform Act. This bill, which is generally opposed by trade groups we belong to, would create a self regulating organization for insurance producers.","Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Risk Management Agency,Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC),SENATE,State, Dept of (DOS),Treasury, Dept of",,350000,0,0,2008-07-17T10:36:01-04:00
