    It is past time for that regulation to be revoked.

      It's interesting and probably telling that we are this far into the health care 'debate' before this little tidbit comes out.
      Why?

        You foolish people are ignoring why it is there in the first place. They are not in control of what they offer as insurance or what they charge. Each state has regulations that were created by the legislature of the state and a commissioner is in charge of regulating the insurance companies. To charge more they have to let the commissioner look at their books on that kind of insurance. The commissioner tries to keep like policies from the different companies at about the same price.

        Then you looney tunes people rant about the profit they get. They do not have control over that. The commissioner does. But do any radical liberals rant at the commissioners? No of course not. It is just the greed of the insurance companies. Foolish libs.

        Its time to move forward.They the health care industry have proven for at least 30 years now they cannot be trusted,and therefor the Regulations that give them immunity need to be repealed.
