John--
Going by the present state of things, the two
bullets above seem to contradict each other.
I can see why one might object to some government
mandates that insurance must cover certain categories
of care. For instance, contraception, mental health
treatment, substance abuse treatment, and physical therapy.
But if you repeal ALL government mandates, you'll wind
up with lots of policies that appear to cover everything
a consumer might want, but are actually full of loopholes
so that the insurer need not pay for standard treatments.
That seems the opposite of transparency.
