Among Republican ideas to transform the health care system is a proposal to allow health insurers to sell their policies across state lines.
President-elect Donald Trump and Rep. Tom Price, the Georgia congressman picked by Trump to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, have backed the proposal. They and other advocates see it as a way to boost competition. The interstate sales idea is part of a general GOP blueprint to replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare.
In Georgia, the interstate sale of health insurance has already had a five-year tryout.
