Hi! My name is ________________, and I’m a registered voter in (name of state). I am calling to talk about The Insurance Industry Competition Act. Would you be so kind as to transfer me to the appropriate individual to whom I may relay my comment?

I am calling to request that the Senator co-sponsor S. 618, The Insurance Industry Competition Act. This bill would level the playing field so that insurance companies must abide by the same competition laws as nearly every other industry.

The bipartisan bill would give the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission the authority to apply antitrust laws to anti-competitive behavior by insurance companies. I support this legislation.

I hope that I can count on Senator _______'s support.

Thank you for listening!
