The main competition will not be between insurance companies but between states. New York will no longer be able to require insurees to pay for dozens of required treatements which they are not interested in. If I had a choice between companies which paid for transexual surgery and another which didn't and had a lower premium, I would pick the second, but I might not have that choice as a New Yorker. If I could say "screw the New York rules! I'm buying from Virginia." the New York legislature would lose a lot of its insurance power.
Right now insurance companies can cross state lines, but they have to follow the (sometimes insane) rules in the destination state. Why bother going into a state with bad rules.

David was, ah, not good. For a minute there he seemed to thinking to himself, “wow, our plan really doesn’t make much sense does it?”
