Another reason to repel those stupid state laws is so that insurance companies can operate country wide, appeal to a broader audience, obtain more customers(or lose them all cause their coverage sucks)...and offer better rates due to competition and more customers as well.
Its not fair that people in smaller states like Idaho might have to pay more for insurance than people in New York would have simply because the insurance company in New York has more customers and more revenue, and therefore can offer lower rates, while the people in Idaho have to pay more for insurance, because the insurance companies there deal with the SAME costs, but less revenue due to less potential customers.
EDIT: I just looked up auto insurance, and they can operate out of state jurisdiction. Same thing should happen with health care.
