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.' " [Fontaine v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., No. 14-1984 (7th Cir. Sept. 4, 2015)]  MORE >>
