Editorial Warns GOP Reform Plan Would Harm Consumers
As an alternative to the federal health reform law's state-based health insurance exchanges, House Republicans have proposed a plan that would allow "health insurance companies to sell policies across state lines," a Sacramento Bee editorial states. The editorial continues that under this proposal, "insurance companies get to designate which state 'shall govern the health insurance issuer' in the sale of coverage," adding, "You'd be on your own if you had a complaint or dispute."
