It's nice that they put so much detail into how they'd propose to do this...

Most of Congress couldn't explain a bond let alone a CDS, i'd be surprised to see them manage to get them banned.

tell us, what is the difference between a CDS and an insurance contract, save the CDS contract says its not insurance.

Simples!

For insurance you have to show an actual loss and you can't claim multiple times for the same event. This is how GS fleeced the US taxpayer. AIG owed billions in CdS as many of its customer had multiple claims for the same event - were it insurance they'd pay onceonly. Sorry Mr Sachs but we've met your claim in full.
