cost prohibitive?You don't have to make them do anything just remove the barriers.They can be made to function in any manner and you know it. Obamacare is proof of that Mr Elitist Doucheit shouldn't have to. You can buy your auto insurance from anyone & in different states with different laws.
This may be news to you, but health insurance and car insurance don't function the same way.
Ok, so what's your proposal?
How do you suggest we "make" insurance companies do what you want them to do?
I'm in a medical Co-op based out of Wichita Ks and I live in Missouri. There are a network of doctors & facilities from 3 states all working together.
It is FAR cheaper than the scam Obamacare
The biggest barriers against it aren't laws, but insurance company profit margins.
medicare for all....the 2nd largest group health insurance policy holder in the land.... they negotiated prices for all of the nation's seniors from all states, there is no state barriers....Obamacare ended that with its one size fits all regulationsBull.You don't have to make them do anything just remove the barriers.

I have several business policies that I am required to purchase IN STATE because of red tape regulations.
It's much more likely that you have to purchase them in state because out of state businesses don't want to deal with your state's red tape - not because the red tape itself prevents them from selling it to you.
That's basically why insurance isn't sold across state lines, and why insurance companies don't feel any desire to do so - because each state has it's own rules for insurance companies to follow, and it's too much overhead for a company to constantly maintain two or more sets of varying rules.
and that's the beauty of an association drive market. If my association brings 2 million members to the bargaining table, companies will line up to grab that market share. But the point is, the consumer will drive it, not government. And for those advocating single payer, you face the same issue of different regulations in different states. How do you reconcile that under your approach?
