Insurance 2

"What consumers need is the ability to shop for policies they can afford. Why not let young people, for example, buy inexpensive policies with high deductibles so that they are covered in case in case of accidents but pay out of pocket for routine care? And why should the 21st century health insurance system be broken up into 50 separate economies when efficiencies and convenience could be had by offering insurance options on a nationwide scale."

I like the idea, but not necessarily the method, which is to expand the federal government.

The problem with the whole "let everyone buy policies across state lines" argument is that it is a trojan horse for gutting all insurance regulations. All the insurers would simply close up shop everywhere except the state with the least regulations and the least amount of consumer protections, and offer their insurance only from there. We know from experience this is what would happen, or have you not wondered why all your credit card companies are "based" in South Dakota or Delaware?

Now if the federal government is enforcing minimum standards for policies (as they had to do with consumer finance after the aforementioned stampeded to the lowest common denominator state) that idea would be more practical.

Government is socialist so any scheme must relate to one size fits all
- haves support have nots, legalized equality, etc.

Inferiority is represented by receiving unearned and unentitled
rewards that are forcefully taken from those who earn and are properly
entitled.

Why should 21st century education be broken up into 50 separate ...

It's interesting how the states argument "let everyone do their own thing, innovate and try new things, copy success, prosper" argument doesn't apply here.

Also interesting that I could map where the GOP supports or disapproves of that general theory to specific instances by considerin concepts like "hypothetical profitability".

Cheers.

I'm fine with that. When it makes sense, someone will provide a product th market demands.
