One of Trump's 'solutions' to the Affordable Care Act is to allow insurance companies to sell health insurance across state lines.
But the sale of insurance is regulated by the states. So in order for this to work, the Government will have to take the right to regulate insurance away from the states. This, from a party that has always been about States' Rights and how terrible it is that the Federal Government interferes with them.
Also, notwithstanding all the railing against regulations, once the Federal Government takes over the sale of health insurance, there will have to be some rules and regulations, however modest. Those regulations would most likely be managed by the Department of Commerce. The very same Department of Commerce so many Republicans have vowed to shutter.
It's kind of like rain on your wedding day. Only actually ironic.
