Why can't Americans buy health Insurance across state line?

Because the democrats can't benefit from each sale yet.

Good question. I can only guess that the health insurance industry is such big business, they call the shots. In my mind they are greedy and corrupt. They have the money to buy the vote. When we talk of health care reform,instead of putting the burden on already tax and recession weary citizens, they need to look and see how much money those insurance CEO's make. It's millions! Maybe we need a law to limit how much money they can make, especially if they want to mandate that everyone has to have insurance.Who do you think isbehindd that idea?

The insurance companies have made it illegal threw lobbing there representatives in the house and senate. This is done to keep premiums high and ensure a huge profit threw lack of competition. if cheap insurance was available in another state all would buy from them and leave the other companies with nothing. There is no room for Competition in health insurance

Capitalism has degraded the health insurance business, the pharmaceutical industry as well as the medical profession. It all boils down to money, money, money.

because every state is conveniently different, making those auto insurance rates highly unstable from state to state...

Insurance is regulated by States. An ILLINOIS company can sell insurance in all other states. However they need to be licensed to sell in each state where they want to sell. Each state can establish product/benefit requirements and in some instances a particular company may be reluctant to match he States requirements!

Government meddling. Now see how government is having to make a big deal about its own stupid meddling. Government is always the problem.

Your buddy is basically ultimate. coverage companies make funds whilst they assemble rates coverage companies lose funds whilst they pay for centers consequently, coverage companies maximize income whilst they are waiting to collect the main quantity of funds from rates, yet pay out the least in centers. people who argue the contest rhetoric could ward off this, actual get their rhetoric to fall flat on their face making them incorrect. right here is why: coverage organisation A is located in say North Dakota, to cover uncomplicated centers mandated by making use of the state (make this variable A) it fee X funds coverage organisation B is located in say South Dakota, to cover uncomplicated centers mandated by making use of the state (make this variable B) it fee X funds when you consider that coverage organisation A is remitted by making use of their state to cover a larger style of uncomplicated wellness centers then (fee of A > fee of B) making use of the formula (income = sales - price), coverage organisation B located in South Dakota makes greater funds than coverage organisation A located in North Dakota, and can consequently cut back its cost to learn a larger marketplace share, thereby doing away with enterprise from coverage organisation A. to confirm that coverage organisation A to stay aggressive it the two has to: a million) pass to South Dakota 2) Compete in terms of high quality by making use of offering larger rates for greater centers.

Don't worry about it. And don't, for gosh sakes, don't think you can do anything about it. Take your bf, gf, mum, sis, dad or bro (or anybody) and go for a walk and get some ice cream. Take your camera.
