Rep. Garamendi: State-based Exchanges in the Senate bill could "throw 30 million people to the sharks"

January 12, 2010

I spent years as insurance commissioner in California, chasing after the insurance company scoundrels. You're going to toss 30 million Americans to these sharks unless there is a real strong regulatory environment [like the House's Exchanges] and public option."
