After the McCarran-Ferguson Act, what action did the NAIC take regarding rate regulation?

After the McCarran-Ferguson Act, regulation of insurance rates remained at the state level. The NAIC responded by drafting and approving model rate regulation bills to guide states on how to file, review, and regulate rates in a consistent way. This action fits with the act’s intent to keep rate regulation within state purview while providing a standardized framework regulators and insurers could use. The other options would imply federal control, a merger with a federal agency, or abolishing rate regulation, none of which align with the act or the NAIC’s role.
