WASHINGTON–Insurance industry critics in Congress signaled yesterday they will continue their campaign against insurers by scheduling a March 7 hearing over whether carriers' antitrust immunity is good for consumers.
The hearing was set by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., with another hearing due to commence today by the oversight panel of the House Financial Services Committee on the industry's handling of claims resulting from Hurricane Katrina.
Sen. Leahy is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has oversight over antitrust issues. A committee staffer said no witness list was available.
