Rep. Betsy Markey's bill to end the antitrust exemption for health insurers will be handled by the Senate as a standalone bill and not be wrapped into a broader health-care reform package now being finalized, a senior House aide said Tuesday.
"It cannot be included in reconciliation because it is not a budgetary issue. It's a very significant provision and passed the House by an overwhelming vote of 406-19, so we hope the Senate will take it up," said the aide, who spoke to the Coloradoan on condition of anonymity.
