Dems Seek Financial Disclosures from Insurance Execs

HeadlineAug 19, 2009

In other healthcare news, two influential Democratic lawmakers have asked insurance company executives to disclose details on their salaries, retreats, and other financial information. In a letter sent out this week, Congress members Henry Waxman of California and Bart Stupak of Michigan said they want to examine “executive compensation and other business practices in the health insurance industry.” Waxman is chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, while Stupak oversees the panel’s Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
