The article criticized Selling Insurance Across State Lines would reduce consumer protections from state government and could raise the premiums for people who are old or sick. But I think this may be a time for the Federal Government to take over the insurance regulation domain from the state government. There are pros like unifying the premiums nationwide, better control to the reduced amount of insurers, incorporating with insurers for new plan which can cover the remaining uninsured. Since the insurers are profit demanded groups, they also can get the minimum benefits .After all , this is a “nationwide business.”

  1. I also feel that it is time for the federal government to step in and make this as universal as possible. If the government is properly able to regulate the actions of insurance companies, and their spending practices, premiums may not have to rise that much. The elderly and sick should be able to continue to using assistance programs such as Medicare.

    Currently there are not enough options for individual buyers. I have experienced this when I was not in school and needed health care coverage by Bluecross. Their plans are limited and frustrating. The costs were high and the coverage was very limited.
