    This is absolutely wonderful. Associations need to assist their membership. It\’s imposible to meet the demands of every state commissioner plus the hundreds of regulators within the multiple agencies. 55 million people with out insurance and no way to reach them is appalling. This effort is honorable keep up the praiseworthy effort.

    My firm does biz in 44 states.

    we keep our non-resident lic/s active with out staff

    some of my questions are:

    Why no national lic app for non-resident
    ( have all states use same app )
    Why no Lic fee for each state
    ( we would have no problem paying $50-100 per state )

    Think of one form ( on line )
    check individual states
    pay once

    Why no state producer standard

    Why do some states have state counter signiture comm

    This stuff adds Millions of dollars of cost to all members of the production group

    all to ???????????????

    Bring on the Feds

    Insurance has far too long enjoyed exemption to federal regulation. Most insurance companies and their insured\’s operate in more than a single state – so why not have the federal gov\’t oversee it? With each state requiring their own coverage forms, mandatory endorsements, terms, conditions, etc, policies become a conglomeration of state bureaucracies that even a Philadelphia lawyer has difficulty understanding. It only adds additional costs and confusion to the customer. It\’s time for a change.

    Why bother. Name one thing the states do right? The Feds can\’t be any worse. The real down side to Federal Regulation is that the National Agent Associations will then be needed and the State Associations less so. Is State Regulation worth preventing that?
