Since the Commerce Clause seems to be one of the most, if not the most abused powers, let's amend it to read "...regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes"

Let the states regulate themselves. Competition in today's world will resolve any imbalances. I'd be willing to accept the resultant risk if it would in any way constrain our out-of-control Gov't.

I would believe, and favor utilizing the word “regulate” with foreign nations, and Indian tribes, but the word “arbitrate” amongst the States.

I believe that is self explanatory.

Imagine a bill under the Commerce Clause allowing you to buy insurance across state lines, forgoing any mandates within your state and thus being ruled for purposes of health insurance by another state’s insurance rules.

That would create instant competition and a real free market in insurance.

Can you imagine the lowering effect on health insurance prices that would have?

We have a real opportunity to restore the free market, keep Congress in our hands for decades and wound Obama and his socialist/progressive allies forever.
