The hearing on HB 3145, the bill to hold health insurance companies accountable on costs, has been yanked from the House Rules committee's agenda for Friday.

Small businesses, consumer groups and champions in the House and Senate continue to to push for a strong bill this session. 

A version of the bill may end up in the big health reform bill (HB 2009). But lets be clear: it needs to be strong enough to really rein in these skyrocketing rates in order for it to merit public support.

For bill details, see earlier blog post.
