Yes, as mentioned earlier, private insurers regionalize their pricing because they are trying to get the maximum profit from each client... not trying to give the maximum care for the lowest price. That is why a single payer system or at least a MEANINGFUL single payer option is so important.

It would break regional pricing and aggregate the cost of insurance over 300 million people instead of the few thousand that one particular plan includes for a private carrier - resulting in downward pressure on prices overall for the first time in decades.
