Right now, it is within the State's power on Insurance, regardless of commerce laws...it is still the State's prerogative to allow insurance companies from another State, be sold and used by their citizens, within their State...So you really want to take away the State's right to govern it's own State's Insurance and hand that over to the federal government via the federal gvt's FORCE? By the federal gvt changing the law to allow citizens to buy insurance across state lines, then you are taking away your State gvt's power to protect you, and regulate insurance in your own State...Did I say anything about bearing the pain to bring it back down? I said, that if you think it can be abolished tomorrow, or in an instant with a vote...you are dreaming.... if congress agreed to abolish it, it will take just as many years, at least 4 yrs, to bring it down....and even that would take a miracle...with congress having to work together to dismantle itSo it's OK to bare the pain of it going up, but not the pain of it going down?
That's pure leftwing idiocy.
Nah, it won't take long at all. If the remove all those controls in insurance companies, then they will come to a solution within a year. While they are at it, they can remove the barriers to selling insurance in other states to there is true competition. Than can also remove the limits on HSAs so people can become largely self-insuring within a few years.
SOOOOO, I guess ''believing'' in State Rights is not your thing, eh? Or only your thing when it is convenient for you...?
No, the state can impose all the regulations it likes except on: it can bar insurance companies in other states from doing business there. That's the case with every other product sold in the market place. The Constitution gives the federal government the authority to regulate commerce among the states. That's one of the few powers the federal government actually does have.
I just said the federal government should revoke that control. The Constitution gives it the authority to do so.
and believe it or not, there are some States who have made agreements with other States, to allow this to happen.... to allow insurance to be bought and regulated among those states who have agreed to each others rules and regs.
Irrelevant. The federal government doesn't allow states to prevent other products from being sold in locally. Why should insurance be any different?
