In the Constitution:
"No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."
Democrats did not want insurance companies to sell across state lines. If enabled, the tax on mandatory insurance would be unconstitutional.
Also in the Constitution:
"No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another."
Again, if insurance companies crossed state lines, earmarks, backroom deals, made by democrats favoring their states, would be unconstitutional.

About Me
- read and consider
- Well, you probably want to know what to expect here. As a follower of the first president, George Washington, I want to put forth articles that will inspire additional thought, so you can enjoy what you already know, your beliefs in the Constitution and the country. I try to write on subjects that have been missed in all the other information sources, of course mixing in some sarcasm and humor. Enjoy the freedom.
