So if Delaware says there is virtually no regulation on health insurance I can buy a Delaware unregulated policy here is Florida? What's to stop every insurance company from establishing a Delaware corp? The various states' Attorney Generals would sue to stop it. The question of whether the Commerce Clause could be applied is out there but currently no insurance companies are willing to pay to litigate. That is probably because profit margins are so thin. OTOH allowing people to buy insurance policies free of onerous mandates would bring the cost down and make insurance more accessible to those who decline it because of cost. It is a better solution than a government take over of the industry.
