Breckinridge of Omaha urged Congress to regulate insurance as commerce, arguing life fire and marine policies create a national financial system spanning millions and requiring federal supervision. He cited Elizabethan law and London experts, noting strong public demand for federal oversight and safeguards against costly mismanagement and fraud.
