Or what about Health Insurance?

I mean they game this thing BIG TIME. You can't sell across state lines, so in some areas you effectively have a couple of companies to choose from.. by law.. and that's it.

What can they write into their contract?

I am normally in favor of such measures.. Because of you don't like it, you vote with your wallet.. But what if you literally CAN'T do that because they won't LET YOU?

It is not just state lines. If you look at the Federal employees plans (those touted as being so great) you will notice that the availability of coverage you can get depends on where you live. As an example if you live and work for a Federal Agency you have a lot more plans available than if you work in Ajo, Arizona. Some of the available plans even change based on the zip codes in a state, which means that if you live in one area of Los Angeles you may have different plans available that another government employee that although works in Los Angeles is in a different zipcode.
