Insurance sales to elderly probed in congressional hearing
The House Aging Committee released findings from a six month inquiry showing thousands of seniors targeted by unscrupulous agents pushing overlapping or worthless health policies. Cases included a 94 year old buying 26 policies in Florida and a Pennsylvania woman taking out a $3,000 loan for 31 policies, while critics urge stronger federal standards and clearer Medicare gaps disclosure. The health insurance industry condemned overselling, backing voluntary standards and greater state and federal scrutiny.

Kresslein Jr., president of the Maryland Savings and Loan Association, says about 90 percent of state associations are no longer making mortgage loans. He notes the ceiling is below current money costs and that lifting it would not reduce demand for housing.
