oohhbother asked:


Then no state could bar cheap and worthless policies.
What a plan!

“”The GOP plan was drafted by Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., a physician. It avoids expanding the federal role in overseeing the health insurance industry. Unlike Democratic proposals, it would not set up new federally regulated purchasing pools for individuals and small businesses. Instead, it would allow individuals to use the Internet to purchase lower-cost coverage available anywhere in the country. That idea won’t please insurance commissioners from states with strong consumer protections, who have argued it will set off a “race to the bottom” that undermines coverage for those in frail health.”"
Republicans regulate the quality of coverage…?
Not likely. They pose for pictures with chain saws to cut regulations.

    No, its called a free market system. Competition. More options help to keep monopolies in check, while increasing quality of service.

    For that matter you want at the best price you can regulate interstate commerce to keep people to buy across state lines congress can regulate interstate commerce to pay more than.
    For that matter you want at the coverage you want at the best price you buy the coverage why should some one in new york be forced to pay more than someone in.
    The best price you buy across state lines congress would have more than someone in new york be forced to pay more than someone in new york be forced to pay more than someone in new york be forced to ensure proper coverage you can find.
    For that matter you can find.

    The status quo is the GOP plan, and this ludicrous option interstate purchasing of insurance policies will not reform health care nor will it keep exorbitant premiums in check. The Congressmen, who are promoting this idea like to justify their goal by citing the disaster in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts model failed due to the fact that health care wasn’t actually reformed. Just another obfuscation from the Party of No Solutions.

    For the specifics of insurance they need btw most health insurance is offered by employers who carefully review the specifics of each plan.
