They have contractual arrangements with providers and expanding it might not be what they're interested in. I think a few states already allow it and it's pretty much fizzled. I'm betting this ends up being an opportunity for scam artists to bilk the more dimwitted among us into buying insurance policies that don't cover anything. Trump Health Insurance Co. perhaps?
