Lousiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon used an opportunity to meet with President Obama to present him with a letter asking him to refrain from raising flood insurance rates for residents of his state.

Leonardi and North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin to primarily address issues with the Affordable Care Act.
