Is ObamaCare Breaking Some State Insurance Laws? ObamaCare advice program sparks fights across the nation

The Hill reports:
An ObamaCare program that advises consumers on their new health insurance options is sparking fights across the country from critics who say it puts consumers at risk of fraud. Eighteen states have enacted or are considering legislation to apply tougher requirements to “navigators,” the people and organizations who will help patients shop for health insurance on the Affordable Care Act’s new marketplaces.
There's more:
In Missouri, one statute prohibits navigators from providing “advice concerning the benefits, terms and features of a particular health plan.” An Ohio law imposes an almost identical rule.
It appears ObamaCare is breaking some state insurance laws!
