Re: "Forbidding states from interfering in interstate commerce complies with the direct words of the commerce clause, no need for the inflated version the courts go by now." Another, (& a more accurate, I believe), way of phrasing that would be to say that the States' currently assigned AUTHORITY to regulate the sale of insurance within their own State borders would be PREEMPTED and SUPERSEDED by an over-arching federal authority which would deprecate the existing State power. Re: "The inflation in the clause we've seen is to allow the feds to regulate commerce that is entirely within a state. That's pretty bogus...." Yes it is! (I agree.)
