Secret founding of abortion?
Secrets crap to give to illegal aliens?
Forcing people to buy health insurance?
Secret death penals just like in Britain?
It's just like single-payer.
donc, it's perfect for you!!!
I believe it's a federal law, I've lived in many states and in not a single one could I buy insurance from another state.
If thats true, than it is stupid. Any insurance company should be able to sell across state lines, as long as that insurance meets the regulations of the state it is selling insurance in.
Unless I'm mistaken, the filibuster is not law, but rather a Senate Rule.
That's part of the issue. Insurance conpanies are licensed in states because of the laws in that state. An IL company would need to write its policy to follow all of the law of all of the states in sells insurance into. This may be impossible.If thats true, than it is stupid.

I hate that because if that's true, wtf is a filibuster there for anyway? Is it like one of those artificial 'protections' that make people feel good but really don't do ****? like a debt ceiling?I heard this on the way home from work : Gregory Koger, Explaining The American Filibuster : NPR
From what this story tells me is that technically they can change the filibuster rule (or any rule) with a 51 vote majority if the proper procedures are followed. Personally I hope they don't because while they will get what they want passed, so will the conservatives, causing wild swings in legislation. The filibuster, while abused, does provide some stability.

This is correct -- it is a senate rule and may be changed whenever the senate feels like it.Unless I'm mistaken, the filibuster is not law, but rather a Senate Rule.
Well, that may be true -- but it does explain pretty well why you cannot currently do it.Than it should be up to the states to get together and try to streamline regulation. The last thing we need is all insurance based out of the state with fewest consumer protections.

No question about it.Let's call this what it is....Liberals don't like that they are being out played in the Congress so they do what liberals always do when they lose and have the power.....They change the rules.
