Perfect. That should reduce healthcare costs for everybody. Not.

I think you were too quick to write that off. NIH. Buying insurance across state lines doesn't mean buying BC Kentucky or Tennessee. It means buying one of a variety of Blue Cross National offerings designed for different popular scenarios, the best that Blue Cross could come up with because the market would be so big. And it would compete with Aetna National, etc., which would make all of them better. Providers in Tennessee and Kentucky and California would have fewer schemes to learn as folks gravitated to the national plans.

National insurance plans seem very normal to me since I have Federal Blue Cross and have never been constrained by my state's regulation. Until this latest reform initiative I didn't even know that each state had it's own. My insurance is excellent and is very popular with providers.
