That's an excellent point. The automatic opt in is not allowing the people in the states more local power, it is a tricky way of taking power away from them. So it is not a way of transferring power from the Federal government to local power, it is a way of giving local government more power over its people. And a way of giving more power of local governments over private sector business, as well, as McConnell pointed out, a competitive advantage of state governments over private insurers.
