1. It's the government's job to protect the citizens from unfair business practices...as the insurance companies were found doing.
Protecting people from unfair business practices does not translate into paying for their health insurance.
2. The offered proposals were essentially to let the insurance companies themselves continue along the same vein....only difference was that they would be allowed to monopoloize across state lines.
If multiple insurance companies are selling across state lines, how is it a monopoly?
It was an interesting proposal, given that the neocon driven GOP's mantra were always about states rights vs. federal gov't mandates.
Define neocon. You use it a lot and I'm pretty sure you don't know what it means. And the "mantra" would be an applicable use of the commerce clause, in my opinion.
And where were you during the 2000-2008 administration?
What is the relevance of this question?
