I’m so glad I’m voting for Trump.

He has advocated lowering state lines so insurance companies can compete nation-wide for our insurance dollars, and provide better care to attract our business.

That’s free enterprise, the Capitalist system at it’s finest.

Cruz said that he would release a bill to empower Americans to purchase health insurance across state lines, creating a "true national market." Insurance can only be purchased intra-state at present.

“He (trump) has advocated lowering state lines so insurance companies can compete nation-wide for our insurance dollars, and provide better care to attract our business.”

That means a federalized system of insurance. One of the reasons policies are different in different states is that each state can require a different set of coverage. Only one way around that is establishing a federal standard.

Second issue. Sure, insurance is cheaper in some states but you only live in one state. Insurance in Alabama will be cheaper than insurance in New York. Do you want to drive across country for treatment?
