A large part of the problems that the insurance companies have to deal with are the patchwork of regulations across all 50 states. You think insurance regulation should be 'nationalized' from the states to the big bad centralized federal government?

The Fiorina file Before she’s officially announced her Senate candidacy against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Republican businesswoman Carly Fiorina is coming under fire over her spotty voting record. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Fiorina has only voted in five of the 18 California elections since she registered to vote and never voted in New Jersey during her eight years in the state. That means she skipped two high-profile Garden State gubernatorial elections in 1997 and 2001, the former which involved Christie Todd Whitman, the first female governor in New Jersey history. She also missed a closely-contested 2002 Senate contest between Democrat Frank Lautenberg and Republican Douglas Forrester. She also never voted in Maryland, where she lived beginning in the early 1980s. Fiorina, because of her business background and ability to self-finance an expensive race, is viewed as a top recruit by national Republicans. But she’s never run as a candidate before and will have to credibly explain her lack of political involvement until serving as John McCain’s economic adviser in the 2008 presidential campaign. ALSO: Fiorina is facing scrutiny over her current business (Carly Fiorina Enterprises), which is not registered as a corporation in California, according to the paper. Her spokesman told the Chronicle that she doesn’t need to register because the business is a sole proprietorship. But California Attorney General Jerry Brown, who is running for governor, has initiated an inquiry into the situation — which could create quite a political firestorm if his office found anything problematic. politico.com

This can be solved without having to nationalize health care, but I don't see much in Obama's plan that will do that. In fact, I don't think any Democrat really wants to make things easier for private health insurance, especially with the way they're positioning themselves. With the way the right has twisted even their own provision (the so called death panel proposal), to include anything enlightened is like walking a mine field....most of what you write these days is partisan la la land garbage...

>A large part of the problems that the insurance companies have to deal with are the patchwork of regulations across all 50 states. For example, CA has its own pharmacy board, separate from the national board. TX has is own set of drug regulations that gives any insurance agent nightmares. And why is that that much of a problem? You don't think the insurance companies know how to deal with the regulations in each state they operate? That's just part of doing business. It'd be one thing if they were constantly changing, but if you're a company that's been doing business in a state for 10, 20, 30 yeaars, you can deal with the regulations there. -Z
