| nothing will happen regulatory capture and corporate-owned government will prevent any meaningful changes.
the big will get bigger and prices will increase like clockwork.
eventually, the U.S. will be a 2nd tier (if not already) broadband country. |

| Don't kidd yourself, nasadude, the U.S. has been second rate in just about everything except average weight of the population for quite a while now. |

Each state would make a minimum criteria for insurance. This is already done for car insurance.

Then there would be a race to the bottom for every insurance company to register only in the most liberal, most profitable state. Like Nevada and Delaware for corporations, and Utah for banks. |

Yup! The US is second rate in just about everything we are...
We're second rate for disaster recovery, we're second rate for overall income, we're second rate at space exploration, we're second rate at military.. we're not "second rate" at just about everything... certainly not at political corruption...
But, try to not exaggerate so much.. The US is not second rate at just about everything.. its a constant back and forth game.. just a few years ago, MANY countries had, and still do have, second rate internet. |

| You are right about everything except the military,even though most of the juicy spending is classified,i read a story a while back about if our great government for 1 day diverted what they spend on the military to things like health care, employment it would basically fix it overnight for the amount of money that is spent to run our wars for 24 hours,just food for thought. |
