John;

There are two reasons to assume that simply permitting the sale of health insurance across state lines without regulation at the federal level would produce worse outcomes than the presently bad ones we live with.

Hmmmm. And I think that allowing health insurance to be sold across State lines - WITHOUT giving the States a say will be a race to the bottom. If one plan fits all, won't they have to devise a plan acceptable to the poorest State? And then that becomes the plan sold everywhere - the norm. We've seen this before in the housing industry for instance. So they race to the bottom and then must regulate every single itty bitty issue to make sure you get a house that will stand up - or a health care plan that won't kill you. It guarantees massive regulation and thus an escalation of cost.
