I have no proof for or against this, but do you think there is a cost reason why health insurance is more expensive in one state compared to another? Do you really think Health insurance companies will lower their rates for people who live in the cheap states now? Or will they raise my rate to offset lowering it in the expensive states?
There are a lot of problems with the current system. I'm sure there is a solution somewhere. But I'm not sure that a universal health care system would be fair to everyone. Small business owners and the rich would have to be taxed too much to pay for healthcare coverage that will be abused if it's free. (It's free in the military too, but they are more responsible and healthier than most average Americans)
If they want to change it, they will need to phase it is slowly. Start with emergency and accident coverage for everyone. This takes care of most large bills and won't be abused. It will lower the risk of insurance companies having to pay out or fight paying out big money. It will take away a lot of worry that comes when you don't have insurance and get seriously injured.
