I was talking about the model by which that program, a voluntary program, was established through cooperation among the various players. No law was needed. No command and control was needed. The various government and industry players got together and set it up and it happened. The result was cleaner appliances and clearer consumer information. The same thing could happen with health insurance.

God are you totally naive? These are for profit companies we are talking about. They are in the business of charging people a the maximum amount of money possible and paying out as little as possible. It's their fiduciary duty; their corporate ethic. Why do you think insurance companies, and other financial companies are so regulated?

You are nuts if you don't think insurance companies need to ne regulated. Might as well feed the lambs to the wolves by hand.
