You think we should be in lock step with our opinions, DougR. Is that how it is with you and your wife? If so, I find that very sad.

The new law does allow people to buy insurance across state lines. In the insurance exchanges, neighboring states can form pools from which the people of all of the states involved can buy insurance. So if you belong to a pool that has more than one state in it, you can buy insurance from any of the states in the pool.
