You say no one is talking about single payer, and then you talk about "standardizing levels of coverage, benefits and claims payment" and "If everything is submitted and paid on one platform". Which is it?

Allowing insured groups to form (outside of the current ERISA driven employer groups) across state boundaries and exempt from 50 different state regulations greatly reduces costs.

Agreed. I would support a real national market in health insurance. If states want to impose excessive regulation on the insurers in their state I suppose they would be able to, but people could get cheaper insurance that better fits their needs elsewhere. And generally a more open national market improves both competition and efficiency.
