[T]he Seventh Circuit ... applied its two-part test for determining whether a law 'regulates insurance.' The court stated that [the Illinois regulation] was [1] 'specifically directed toward entities engaged in insurance' and [2] 'substantially affect[ed] the risk pooling arrangement between the insurer and the insured.'
