2NEW? - Healthcare Insurance Czar (7/7/09)

• President Barack Obama's congressional allies want to create a powerful insurance commissioner to oversee medical plans nationwide. State regulators say it would duplicate what they do without better protecting consumers

• The health choices commissioner would head an independent agency, as envisioned in the 800-page draft bill released by House Democratic leaders. The Health Choices Administration would regulate a revamped insurance marketplace and be expected to deliver Obama's promise of affordable coverage for all.

• Decisions made in the commissioner's office would reverberate not just through insurance company boardrooms, but family kitchens as well.

• State regulators, who traditionally have overseen the industry, say a federal commissioner is unnecessary.

• "We have concerns that a federal commissioner would not provide adequate protection for our consumers, and that the bill as drafted duplicates functions that exist in states across the nation," said Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Kim Holland.
