Where do you turn when your health insurance company denies you coverage for care you really need? Until now millions of Americans had nowhere to go for help or would get caught up in a bureaucratic mess of an appeals process when they were turned down by their insurance company. But, today, the Obama Administration announced new regulations as part of our historic health care reform that would give many Americans access to a fair and honest appeals process for the first time.

Today, President Obama signed into law the Restoring American Financial Stability Act – the most important regulatory overhaul of our nation’s financial system since the reforms that led to 60 years of sustained growth after the Great Depression.

For eight years, Wall Street played Russian roulette with America’s future while Republicans in Congress and President Bush looked the other way.  This law ends bailouts for big Wall Street banks and protects consumers and the financial system from the damaging practices that got us into this mess.
