Perhaps, every state should be filing 1332 waivers like Idaho. There is no longer a road block to doing so!
This administration is willing and READY to ACCEPT them.

Your state then can begin offering MUCH LOWER PRICED health insurance plans devoid of up to 11 unnecessary health insurance mandates.

If your state has not filed for a 1332 waiver, phone and demand your state legislators file the waiver.

Now start offering these plans across state lines in Washington please.

This is a critical move because it opens another legal front against ObamaCare.

Contrary to popular belief, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on ObamaCare (the infamous John Roberts opinion) did not uphold the law in its entirety. It only addressed the constitutionality of the individual mandate.

In the same decision and the same Roberts opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that ObamaCare was not constitutional under the interstate commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.

This was an important part of the decision that never got much scrutiny because nobody was really making a big deal about it at the time, but it has huge implications for a state like Idaho that wants to allow insurers to sell insurance plans that are not compliant with the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.

Insurers would be able to consider enrollees' medical history in setting their premiums, a practice known as underwriting, which isn't authorized under the ACA.

If you can't engage in "underwriting," then you're not selling a real insurance plan. LOL.

The mask is slowly coming off this fraud known as the Affordable Care Act.

A good move. I hope they get rid of Obamacare this year. Maybe after Nov. 2018. .

Excellent. Free market!
Or even better, would be private enterprise!

Health-policy experts said it isn't clear that the state has the authority to allow such products, or that it would be legal under federal law for insurers to sell them.

This is backwards. The federal government does not have the authority to stop states from allowing such products.

When you allow underwriting is there typically any limit on the extra amount that insurance companies charge for preexisting conditions?? I’m not sure how that works.

My ‘Obamacare’ insurance went up to over $750 as of Jan. 1. I’ll be very happy to sign on to something more reasonable!
