Dumbing down! I live in a very progressive and very rich state, I sure don't want the health care offered to Arkansas. How do you get around that? .

Except it isn't dumbing down. There is some very good health care in states that aren't "very progressive", but that isn't even really the point. If Arkansas became one of the more popular states for chartering health care insurance for the rest of the country, that would only mean that people would be able to buy insurance that met its requirements, they wouldn't force more gold plated coverage, on people who want insurance but don't want to pay for all those requirements. But the insurance companies would still be willing, even eager, to sell you more extensive coverage if you want to pay for it, so you can get your coverage as gold plated as you want it to be.
