Which is why enabling insurance companies to sell interstate policies and people to buy them if they didn't want all their state's bells and whistles would be an excellent reform. It absolutely would. This would do more to increase competition than anything government intervention could ever do. Add to that tort reform and a couple other relatively minor changes and the US system would be on par, cost-wise, with the socialist countries people are wanting to emulate, yet the quality of care would not suffer materially. Getting government involved is only going to exacerbate the cost problem. I think that's pretty clear.
