i would like to give a shout out to michael mcraith and all our witnesses. until this year the role of federal involvement in the insurance industry is centered on whether to establish a federal insurance regulator. i worked with congressman royce on legislation to establish a federal regulator for the insurance industry. last congress our bill was focused on consumer choice and protections, advantages for agents and industry efficiencies. much has changed in our financial system since the last congress. the collapse of aig, the world's largest insurer has proven to be one of the most costly and dangerous corporate disasters in our nation's financial history, with nearly $180 billion of federal tax dollars committed to aig, plus $22 billion to other insurers. the federal government has made an unprecedented investment in an industry over which it has no regulatory authority. the need for federal regulatory oversight has never been greater. having a federal insurance commissioner who can work with the expected systemic risk regulator or council is vital to insurance proper oversight
