The insurance companies have been able to agree to adhere reasonably well, for example, to the ANSI 4010x1 standard for claims. IN another way, we have standards for the practice of professions such as law and accounting that are established at a national level yet ultimately governed at the state level. And many states (certainly not EVERY state) have been able to agree to use federal definitions for tax purposes, down to a very minute level of specificity. So you think the US Congress should set minimum standards for health insurance. OK.
