I like Paul Ryan believe that regulation and choice should be in the hands of the individual and the State. Allowing out of State insurance purchases doesn't mean the State can't predetermine what conditions must be covered.

Of what use is freedom and choice if you're dead/crippled/bedridden and/or bankrupt?
If the federal government wasn't willing to save Americans from themselves, they'd still be using leaded gasoline, DDT and asbestos. There'd be no FAA, EPA, FDA... allowing people to buy crappy/no health insurance is like letting them drive without car insurance, letting them operate unsafe vehicles, or eat, drink and breathe whatever products the market chooses to put out.
