Allow insurance companies to sell health insurance across state lines under interstate commerce laws to increase competition and lower prices.

I support real solutions to rising health care costs: Nationwide Shopping for Insurance Allowing insurance companies to operate under interstate commerce laws will lead to more competition, better prices and offerings.

Scott commits to supporting nationwide shopping for health insurance by allowing insurers to operate across state lines.

S.647 proposed cooperative governing of individual health insurance coverage offered in interstate commerce. The introduced text named Cruz, Vitter, Crapo, Rubio, Barrasso, and Enzi; it was read twice and referred to Senate Finance.

During Scott's relevant post-2014 special-election term, an exact interstate-health-insurance vehicle was introduced but did not advance beyond referral, and Scott was not listed in the bill text as a sponsor or named introducing cosponsor.

Congress.gov lists S.647's latest action as March 3, 2015: read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance. The tracker says the bill had the status Introduced.

The same-term bill matching the promise never became law or even passed a chamber, so the commitment was not delivered in the campaign term ending January 3, 2017.

S.2021 would apply the laws of a primary state to individual health insurance coverage offered by that insurer in any secondary state and exempt insurers from secondary-state laws that would prohibit or regulate operation there. Its latest action was referral to Senate Finance, with status Introduced.

A later-term Senate bill again targeted interstate health-insurance sales but remained only introduced, showing the policy still had not been enacted after Scott's special-election term.

The CRS summary says individual health insurance coverage would be governed by the laws of a state designated by the health insurance issuer. Congress.gov lists the bill as read twice and referred to Senate Finance, with status Introduced.

Another later-term repeal-and-replace vehicle contained a cross-state regulatory concept, but it did not advance beyond introduction and was not enacted.

On July 28, 2017, the Senate rejected McConnell Amendment No. 667 to H.R.1628, the American Health Care Act of 2017, by 49 yeas to 51 nays. Scott of South Carolina voted Yea.

Scott took a recorded vote for a failed ACA-repeal vehicle, but the amendment was rejected and did not deliver the specific interstate-sale commitment.
