If we become able to "buy insurance across state lines", all the states who have instituted good consumer protection laws will be powerless to prevent the system from spiraling down to the lower common denominator, as insurance companies will cluster to headquarter in whatever states offer them the fewest consumer protections, the most lenient of regulation, etc.
