> One possible fix is that I should be able to buy any insurance I want from anywhere in the country I want; this would mean real competition; currently, I can only buy from a few providers that operate in my local part of my (large) state.

If enough people in state A buy from a provider in state B, state A's providers could very well close up shop.
