Can someone explain to me in retard terms what we have now, what is being proposed, and what the consequences and benefits of each side are? The news web sites no longer report actual news.
Thanks in advance. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

Here is my question.... what constitutional provision is this legislation being passed under? Commerce clause? Insurance is in the steam of commerce between states so can be regulated? Seriously, how is uncle sam sticking his nose into state business constitutionally?

Seriously, how is uncle sam sticking his nose into state business constitutionally? I'm not sure if the Commerce clause applies because insurance stays within a state, meaning people in Pennsylvania can't buy insurance from New Jersey. There have been mentions that the 10th Amendment may be used to attempt to quash any bill. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Yeah, but if you get insurance in NJ and crash in Penn, insurance is paying across state lines.... that may be the argument i guess. -------------------- |
