Weber In 1944 the Supreme Court ruled that insurance was an item of commerce, and could be regulated by the federal government under the commerce clause. This ruling overturned a previous ruling by the Supreme Court in 1869 in the case of Paul VS. Virginia, (1) which held that “issuing a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce,” effectively moving the business of insurance beyond the United States Congress’s legislative reach. That Supreme Court ruling in 1944 came from the case of the United States VS. South-Eastern Underwriters Association (2) which also held that the Sherman Act, the federal antitrust statue, applied to insurance. The states protested the ruling and in 1945 Congress passed the McCarran Ferguson Act (3) which gave the states the authority to regulate insurance (4). A result of McCarran Ferguson was that each state was able to create its own mandates dictating what medical procedures must be covered by policies issued in each state. More importantly, McCarran Ferguson is also the act which makes it impossible for the department of Health and Human Services to establish insurance exchanges in the states, as is required in order to implement PPACA. m.youtube/watch?v=G790p0LcgbI
