i would think you would want to validate that you can buy another state insurance coverage even though you do not live in that state.
i believe that is what you said?

i am sating if you live in the state you are required to buy that policy. we cannot cherry pick coverage by design so we pay for bills passed by state to cover some special interest procedure although it may never appply to us.

for example medicare d coverage costs me little yet friends in ma pay on average $400 mo. i assume it must be high cost of medical coverage in state.

No I have employee provided insurance.

Do your co-workers in other states, assuming you work for a large company, have different insurance? If you were transferred to another state, would you have to get different insurance?

Or are you folks saying there would be no regulation at all?

Not none at all. There would be different versions (perhaps as many as 50) and the insurance seller could pick which version to sell (probably not offering 50 versions, since few would pick the policies from very restrictive states).

Its a form of competition between regulatory bodies, to drive down costs.
