Just like the cost of living is lower in some states, the cost of medical care is lower in some states. If the cost of care is lower, the insurance company can offer lower rates to members. From the latest information I could find, Utah has the cheapest average rates and Alaska has the most expensive.
Some people feel that being able to get insurance from a different state would lower their costs. While this is true for states that are more expensive, it would have the effect of raising the rates in the cheaper states.
