Selling insurance across state lines has to be one of the least well understood health policy issues, by the public and policymakers alike...especially conservative ones. 

I cannot believe the number of people who think that selling insurance across state lines would improve healthcare in this country. Additionally I can't believe the number of people who don't know that its already permissible and legal. Don't believe me? Then grab your copy of the Affordable Care Act and there in Section 1333 is where states can agree to “health care choice compacts” that would allow health insurance companies to sell their products across states lines.

Insurance companies don't do it because it's not profitable...and the only reason they're in the health insurance business is to make a profit. 

People would do well in this country to reattach this instead of taking their healthcare talking points from talk radio.
