The WBLTA took the unprecedented step of formally adopting a legislative stance for approval of the HITA Bill (Health Insurance Transparency and Accountability Act).  As you know, health insurance premiums have skyrocketed in the past few years.  This bill will go a long way towards curbing the worst abuses that lead to higher costs.
