You take away the state lines restrictions, and all the insurance companies will move to the state with the least patient-friendly regulations. Since states will compete to have bad regulations in order to attract those companies and their white collar employees, this will be a rapid race to the bottom.

Face it, the US system is crappy (as evidenced by the GDP % spend, real dollar amount spend, and shit outcomes we get for it).

But the ins company will have to abide by the laws of the state in which the client is covered
