Well insurance companies/free enterprise are entitled to make a profit and I think if cross state competition were allowed it would get the price of a policy down to where many more could afford to purchase than do. Also the requirement that all must purchase insurance (there are many that can actually afford insurance but do not purchase it for whatever their reasons) would bring in a larger customer base and should help to reduce the premium costs.
