Kind of like so many companies being registered in Delaware. So how come Delaware get to dictate rules to the other 49 states.
Congress is not lacking the will to provide universal heallthcare, they are lacking the intelligence.
John not onlt Romneycare goes but also the mandate that hospitals must care for the indigent. Not that I really expect Roberts and Co. to have the wit nor wisdom to realize that.

I read that Ezra Klein article. I would think that without state government involved in regulations, requirements, that a somewhat unified health insurance product would developed that would appeal to customers. The difference between states has occurred because of the relatively steady increase in requirements over time. Perhaps, even the majority of the requirements were good, but the end effect is the unwieldy system we have today. I'm of the opinion that either a fully universal system, politically untenable, or a much less regulated private system is the answer with both, preferably, not connected to one's employer.
