It seems to me that if health insurance companies were regulated in the style of car insurance policies that the states with the tricked-out policies would cut out the fluff and we'd end up with regulations that protect policy holders rather than regulations that cater to the acupuncture and chiropractor lobbies. If we could cut out the "must cover" stuff and leave in the "mustn't screw the customer" stuff, we'd be much better off. The former is a function of lobbies. The latter is a function of common sense.

So how do you get there from here without federal regulation instead of state regulation?
