Opening Up Health Insurance Markets

What’s the single easiest thing we could do to fix health insurance?  Allow individuals to purchase insurance across state lines, thus creating a national market and quickly, efficiently deregulating the options for every person in every state.   Right now, Rep. John Shadegg has a bill that would do just that.

The CEI blog quotes a WSJ piece at length to explain.

The Health Care Choice Act would allow residents in one state to buy health insurance that is available in and regulated by another state. If enacted, the law would create a competitive, 50-state market for health insurance, likely making it cheaper. It would do this without imposing a large cost on taxpayers and without creating a new government bureaucracy.

Whole thing here (and well worth reading).
