Whither Obamacare?

Higher premiums for acting like medieval monkeyfucks and getting gored during bouts of animal abuse?

The ones that get gored are usually drunk foreigners. We know our animal abuse.

I just bet you do.

So they aren't able to get the cross-state thing in it.

Question: What is bad about being able to buy insurance across state lines?

There's nothing bad about it.  But it won't do much of anything anyways.  An insurer still has to set up a whole local network to get business.

It could be quite bad if we still have insurance regulation on a state level.  We may wind up with a situation where selling insurance across state lines really becomes selling insurance everywhere from the Delaware of health insurance.  I'm going to guess that the Delaware of health insurance will be a state chosen by insurers rather than insureds.

Don't national banks have to follow different rules for each state now?

I thought one of the Dakotas was the go to state for credit cards, and has a similar lack of insurance regulations.

Yeah, all the letters for my credit cards come from South Dakota.

I'm murky on the details, but a long time ago I read that the reason credit cross processing is located in North Dakota is it's the most remote location in the continental US mail-wise.  Something about making money off the float.

Just to make sure that you keep your material updated, it's been more than a decade since that particular "festivity" was forbidden.

I was always told it's because the South Dakota legislature gave the credit card industry what they wanted with regards to interest rate caps.

I'm sure somewhere there's a llama with a mercury switch detonator up his ass waiting for the countdown to the Feast of St Eggplant's Day over there.  Plenty of greaseball fun to go around.

Yep, that's what I recall as well.

Llamas are from South America.

Seedy's getting sloppy.

[CountDeMoney]

Llamas are from South America.

Llamas sounded funnier.

And fuck you too, dergreaser.

[derspiess]

OMG I GOT A MENTION

[The Minsky Moment]

That just adds imperialism and expropriation of native animal life to your nation's dastardly crimes.
