I agree the regulations surrounding the insurance industry are the antithesis of anti-trust laws. This is not just for health insurance but all insurance. This industry is NOT free market capitalism, it is an oligopoly, or regional monopolies. The free market does not produce positive results when competitive forces are absent. No problems with me here; there needs to be major changes in the insurance industry.
How about FDA regulations? Do you oppose all regulations that (seek to) ensure the food we eat is not mixed in with insects, dead rats and animal feces? We've all read about the nightmares in industrial food production over the last 100 years and more. But there is no doubt these regulations also add a large cost to businesses.
What about drug regulations which (attempt to) prevent con men from selling snake oil to folks? Should "buyer beware" apply to sick people who need health care medications?
