Sigh. Let me try again.
The Problem: Existing state regulations mostly prevent health insurance carriers from offering health insurance to out-of-state customers.
Assumption: Portability across state lines would reduce costs across the board. (still not sure why--sounds a bit like an underwear gnomes scheme to me...)
Your Solution: Federal regulation of insurance companies.
See how that doesn't make any sense? Even if you assume (and I don't) that this would create magical cost savings, your solution doesn't even address the problem
you identified!
