Mom's have to take of work and drive to the next state for an appointment with their child?

Emergencies...hold off on that heart attack until you get across the state line.

He's seriously deranged.

1. Man O man
with that line he has lost the debate and maybe the race. Why should someone go to the next state over for a appoinment when he/she should be able to go down the street.

2. Loved Obama's response because it's the absolute truth. The insurance companies
want this because they want to get out from under state regulations which require defined coverage, certain capital reserves, etc. in order to write insurance in their state. They want to go to states with little or no regulation (the worst deal for us) and write the insurance out of there.

The insurance companies want to set up all kinds of scams, undercapitalized and with limited benefits and have no oversight. Good deal for them. Bad deal for us.

And, if we are harmed, how would we sue? I guess we couldn't.
