Historical development of insurance regulation

01.Core Concepts

In U.S. v. South-Eastern Underwriters Association (1944) the Court ruled that insurance was interstate commerce when conducted across state lines and was subject to federal antitrust laws The McCarran-Ferguson Act (1945) states that continued regulation and taxation of the insurance industry by the states are in the public interest Federal antitrust laws apply to insurance only to the extent that the insurance industry is not regulated by state law
