I'm not sure how that works. Aetna is allowed to sell insurance across state lines, each state regulates the policies, so I living in Florida could buy an Aetna Delaware policy or a Aetna California policy or a Florida Aetna policy??? I don't get it. Where's the problem?

Aetna could sell Delaware or Florida policies if they wanted, I guess. But I don't see the point. Aetna would just sell an array of policies. Period. Folks from Delaware or Florida could buy whichever one they wanted.

aetna insurance would cover the state required coverage. for example ma insurance has numerous procedures in the required insurance making it costly vs other states which do not require such coverage. did you call aetna to see if you could purchases an out of state insurance when you do not reside in that state? i had corp insurance and believe the policy cost wass the same if ppo hmo for most states . there were higher costs for same title insurance for employees in certain locations.
