  2. Put your "unit" back in your pants and remind yourself that Dred Scott v. Sandford was declared Constitutional law as well ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dred_Scott_v._Sandford ). Losing court cases does NOT mean the argument was wrong! It can just mean that there are shitty judges out there!

  4. Not true at all and many insurance companies do businesses in multiple states. Read the law again. It just means the federal law exempts regulating interstate insurance practices and the regulation falls into the jurisdiction of individuals states - so called 'states rights'. This federal law was the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945.

    " Firms in each state are protected from interstate competition by the federal McCarran-Ferguson Act (1945), which grants states the right to regulate health plans within their borders. (Large employers who self-insure are exempt from these state regulations.) Thus there is a patchwork of 50 different sets of state regulations, and the cost for an insurer licensed in one state to enter another state market is often high. As a result, consumers have little choice among plans — forcing them to buy an overpriced product, or forgo insurance altogether."
