Selling Health Insurance Across State Lines:<\/a>
An Assessment of State Laws and Implications for Improving Choice and Affordability of Coverage
By Sabrina Corlette, Christine Monahan, Katie Keith and Kevin Lucia<\/p>\n

“Across state lines legislation was largely
unsuccessful because of the localized nature of how
health care is delivered. Respondents universally
reported the enormous difficulty that out-of-state
insurers face in building a network of local providers,
and insurers identified doing so as a significant barrier
to market entry that far surpasses concerns about a
state\u2019s regulatory environment or benefit mandates.
State officials and insurers also noted that across
state lines legislation ignores the primary cause of
high prices\u2014the cost of delivering care\u2014and fails to
account for often dramatic differences in the cost of
care between states and regions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
