Quote:I think the best solution before this mess was to open up competition to out of state insurance companies. For example in Florida I couldn't buy a plan that was based out of Arizona because of federal regulations (most likely championed by the insurance companies themselves).

So what, you can only buy plans from insurers in FL? Aren't most insurers nation wide?

 

I don't know I still think health insurance is a thing that as long as it's required it will be taking advantage of people. I mean the rates they can charge based on things like pre-existing conditions can be insane. They do everything they can to not pay out claims. It's just crazy to me that in this day and age we treat healthcare like a big business and in a lot circles laud these guys. It's not oil, healthcare shouldn't be treated like a commodity in my opinion.
