re: #177 Conservative Moonbat

Because all the insurance companies would then flock to the state with the most leinient regulation, as many banks and corporations now do with Connecticut and Delaware. It would make it impossible for states to pass their own insurance regulations because all the insurance companies would end up in only a few states.

Well, one thing the Feds are entitled to regulate is interstate commerce. It may mean more uniform health care regulation in the country as a whole, and less control by the states, but this was PRECISELY the reason the founders made the federal government the regulator of interstate commerce. They wanted to prevent intrastate fiefdoms and encourage INTERstate commerce. It is appalling that the federal government has opted to forbid interstate commerce in health care.
