Also hear is a study of marketshare of health insurance in the US. 21 of 50 states have 1 company controlling over 50% of the market.  Also note that state after state is dominated by 1 of just a few companies.  http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2009/06/pdf/health_competitiveness.pdf

That's because it is federally mandated that you cannot buy insurance across state lines so it makes very little business sense to establish your insurance carrier in a new state if it's already locked up by someone else.   Would you want to have to create an entire replication of your business in each state just to serve a small portion of the potential customer base?

I told you, the government involvement has crushed the entire concept of free competition.

kinda funny how that site lists 2 insurers for Colorado and over the last 10 years our company has switched insurance like 4 times and it has never been one of those two....
