MLB last entity with federal anti-trust exemption after insurance industry goes on Sunday
2/9/10: "The health insurance industry has inexplicably enjoyed an exemption from the federal antitrust laws. Congress enacted the exemption in 1945 and has long outlived any utility....Exemptions to the antitrust laws are rare and
- indeed only insurance and baseball have an antitrust exemption."...******
- by the McCarran-Ferguson Act. Senator Hatch and I have joined forces several times in recent years to
- scale back that exemption for baseball, and in the Curt Flood Act of 1998
- just as we did with baseball." (Next to last paragraph on page).
