About Time, for Wine... and Healthcare

Isn't it about time for wine to be sold and purchased freely in the state of Tennessee? We see this problem in the health care space I also work in - where state lines prevent individuals or small businesses from pooling together to spread their risk and be able to have more affordable choices when purchasing health care. This is America, the land of choices, and melting pots of taste and preference. We're about free markets that look to supply and demand - and only regulation when it protects us from corrupt power or promotes the "common good". The laws preventing common sense health care freedom of choice remind me of the regulation in TN (and other states) that prevent us from buying on-line, buying at Publix or other grocery stores, as well as getting the discounts and variety that larger chains bring. Now, we do get the benefit of the Grand Cru's of the world - who offer a small and personal boutique experience - but I content they would survive just fine - as free market forces would still bring me back... and other less interesting stores would fold - as they should - since they have not changed to attract customers in a 100 years - because all the laws are on their side. I want stores to earn my purchase. Try harder - knowing I have unlimited choice - and you will have made a better store and a more loyal customer.
