The Senate isn't the problem for the Democrats, it is the House, which won't pass the Senate version.
I know this is getting funny! The House won’t pass the Senate version and the Senate won’t pass the House version!!!!
Having read your link, I also am unable to form an opinion. However, the thought occurred to me that if costs were posted publicly, rather than shared privately, there could be no collusion, and we the consumer would have an idea if we were being overcharged.

Nonsense. The people can control monopolies through their purchasing behavior.

"Nefarious corporations would be run out on a rail by the people."
Yes people file anti-trust suits against them, and then there is a trial to prove whether they are really nefarious, and then if guilty a judge tells them which rail they will going out on.
Well, actually, I think the insurance company normally forms a subsidiary in each state it sells in. Regardless, they have to comply with each state's regulations. Those regulations include: minimum requirements for policies, proof that the insurance company has enough assets that they can pay off on the policies they have written, brokers that meet licensing requirements, etc.
Wrong again. I see it’s pointless trying to argue with a blockhead.
