The Patriot Post's mission is to advocate for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and to promote free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher

Perhaps you missed it when Republican members of the House proposed to exercise the legitimate use of the Commerce clause to bar states from prohibiting the purchase of health insurance across state lines. I once saw a health insurance plan that fit my needs and I could actually afford, but the fine print said, "Not available in ... Minnesota ..." When health insurance companies have to compete instead of getting state legislatures to write the rules to have the same effect as otherwise illegal trusts, we should see some improvement in the market. On the other hand, when we are compelled by our formerly Constitutional Republic to serve as unwilling customers, we cannot expect anything but merciless overpricing.
