Hope so, everyone, I mean everyone here in the very rural area I live in, has to travel over 150 away to get decent health care for anything but a broken arm.

I doubt the equal protection clause will be helpful. But once people realize they aren't really insured under Obamacare, even if they pay the premiums, I think the public will demand a better approach. Also, making a larger portion of the population effectively uninsured will cost hospitals that specialize in complex cases money. Turning away sick people, and sick children won't be good press for places like Cedars Sinai, or Los Angeles Children's Hospital.

In New Hampshire you can't even count on the nearest hospital being in the network, so you'll have to drive past the hospital and keep going to get to somewhere that your insurance covers.

In California, the Anthem plans that cover Riverside and San Bernardino don't provide benefits at the hospitals in Los Angeles. So if you need a specialist there you are out of luck and uninsured.

Companies will have to begin selling traveling health insurance. Otherwise, retirees won’t be traveling at all. Obamacare will eliminate interstate travel. It makes a police state that much easier to administer.
