The Federal Insurance Czar would make 33 czars in total

CNS News reports that a Health care overhaul legislation from President Barack Obama’s congressional allies would create a federal insurance czar with sweeping new powers to oversee medical plans nationwide, an idea already drawing fierce criticism. That would bring the total number of “czars” in this administration to 33. More from CNS News:\

State insurance commissioners are objecting, saying it would duplicate what they now do without offering any better protection for consumers. Conservatives are calling it a textbook example of a big government mentality.

The issue could flare as lawmakers push to meet an ambitious schedule for floor votes on complex health care legislation before the August congressional recess.

Like the notion of a government insurance plan to compete with private companies, designating a single, powerful official to oversee the market goes to the heart of the federal role.

The insurance czar, known as the Health Choices Commissioner, would head a new independent agency called for in the 800-page draft bill released by House Democratic leaders.
