"They still talk about allowing insurance to be sold across state lines. What the heck would that do?"

I've lost some money to out of state clients. It would have been too expensive and too much trouble to sue across state lines, and they sure weren't about to let me know when they were in my state to serve with a subpoena.

And even if I had filed, served, won in court, trying to collect from out of staters??? Forgetaboutit.

Litigious insurance companies could exploit the buffer that state lines could provide.

Imagine a pregnant woman in a blue state whose broker placed her with an insurance agency based in Arkansas. "Sorry ma'am; your procedure violated our church dogma. Coverage declined on order of Reverend Sarah Hucklebery Sanders."
