Obamacare is a doozy. One of the effects is to allow health insurance to be sold across State lines.
"Currently, any health insurer selling policies in California must comply with the state's extensive consumer protections. The reform measures would allow insurance firms to sell policies across state lines if certain conditions were met, bypassing California's rules in favor of the requirements in the state where the policy is issued."
States claim 10th Amendment rights to set conditions on health care policies sold in their States--and to demand that only insurers approved by their Insurance Commission can be sold in their State.
One good thing about Obamacare is that it allows consumers to buy the best policy FOR THEM, not the greedy special interests in their State.
For instance in California, Nuns are forced to buy health insurance that includes abortion coverage--as does your grandmother in Fresno.
The bottom line: this is another move by Obama to get rid of power outside of Washington. As a Socialist, he truly believes in the power of a centralized government--and this helps make it happen--why? Because instead of elected officials in Sacramento deciding what is covered, unelected folks controlled by politicians will make those decisions. In the real world, that is called Socialism.
Either way, Americans are going to lose health care coverage, wait in longer lines and fewer doctors and higher costs--Obamacare a bigger loser than the New Jersey Nets.
