Not all health insurance companies can.
That is why smaller health insurance companies go under because they are regulated to work in certain states. Once there is no competition in certain states, then you get the decadence of certain insurance companies having a monopoly in certain states. I.e. a person in the small state of New Jersey couldn't buy insurance a couple of miles away from a company in Pennsylvania (that doesn't operate in New Jersey) if they didn't like the choices (or price) in New Jersey.
That is the problem.
